In a culture of teen cyberbullying, claims of fake news, political digital trolling, hacked accounts, cyber-staking and revenge porn, this show invites us to consider our online exposure. In this episode, Dr. Sheri Bauman, author of the new book, Political Cyberbullying: Perpetrators and Targets of a New Digital Aggression, looks closely at the digital world we inhabit and the reality of the negativity and dangers we face. She discusses causes of cyber-aggression, the impact of high-status celebrity and political cyber-aggression, the definition and mobilization of trolls, memes, cyberstalking and exploitative dating sites. She addresses how we can continue to benefit from our digital universe without harm. Very Informative show.
