Fahmi: Cabinet To Discuss Cyberbullying

Jul 08, 2024

The Cabinet will discuss the issue of cyberbullying later this week.  

The Communications Minister says the meeting will look at the best ways to tackle the problem. 

This includes the possibility of amending the law to ensure that cyberbullies can be brought to justice.  

He adds that currently, it's hard for authorities to identify cyberbullies as they usually hide behind fake accounts. 

This, following the recent suicide of a social media influencer after being bullied online.
