The extent to which cyberbullying incidents are fueled by the disclosure of personal information: Prevention and Awareness

This research focuses on the form of personal information in cyberbullying incidents and the role of different stakeholders (victims, disclosers, and attackers). The primary goal of the research is to develop solutions that potentially address these incidents (prevention, intervention, support, and awareness). The exploratory phase of the study was conducted in Nigeria and the U.S. and was published at the 2023 Proceedings of the Privacy Enhancing Technology Symposium.
