In this case, the Internet censorship provides a protection to the users through blocking specific Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and filtering sensitive keywords regardless of the domain name specified in the Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

The attempt at suicide almost doubles for victims of cyberbullying than their non-cyberbullied counterparts (Hinduja & Patchin, 2010). Let’s take a look at the definitions of bully, cyberbully, victim, and bystander(s), because I believe a cyberbully evolved from a face-to-face bully.
