Tema članka je cyber maltretiranje i cyber mobing. Naglasak je stavljen na pravnu praksu borbe protiv cyber bullyinga i cyber mobinga u zemljama
u razvoju, budući da su ti fenomeni još uvijek nedovoljno proučeni. Zakonodavstvo zemalja u razvoju uspoređuje se s doktrinarnim i praktičnim dostignućima u borbi protiv proučavanog problema u razvijenim
zemljama
Zapada i bivšeg SSSR-a. Eksperiment je proveden kako bi se utvrdila učinkovitost metoda za borbu protiv internetskog nasilja
pomoću ugrađenih proširenja društvenih mreža. Uzeto je 40 slučajnih računa u jednakim dijelovima koji se odnose na "muške" i "ženske" predstavnike, stare od 18 do 30 godina. Članak ukazuje na koncepte cyber-mobinga i cyber bullyinga i njihove sorte koji postoje u modernom
svijetu. Studija istražuje statističke podatke, programe i mjere različitih država u
borbi protiv cyber bullyinga i cyber mobinga. Rezultati eksperimenata pokazali su da su korisnici Instagrama svjesni ugrađenih
proširenja dostupnih na društvenoj mreži kako bi se zaštitili od internetskog zlostavljanja i koriste
ih relativno često. Uz to, ženski segment korisnika Instagrama više brine sadržaj komentara ispod njihovih fotografija nego muški.
Razvijene su mjere za sprečavanje i suzbijanje cyber maltretiranja i cyber mobinga, čije uvođenje u politike država može pomoći u borbi protiv ovih društvenih pojava.
