The aim of this educational site is to clarify the complicated connection between anonymity online, digital identity, and virtual bullying incidents.

Today’s digital world enables users not only to interact anonymously but also to do so in a pseudonymous way. Anonymity provides a protective shield for whistleblowers, disadvantaged groups, and right to privacy. At the same time, it contributes to the phenomenon known as “Online Disinhibition Effect”. Thus, the fact that people are safe gives them the feeling of freedom and caused the loss of civilized manners among them.

The website offers an overview of online harassment processes, evaluates their PR and social impact on victims and suggests the means for mitigating the problem in the community.
