Online Harassment In the Workplace
Online harassment is a form of conduct. It may take place on a workplace computer or on an augmented realty game. More specifically, online conduct includes posting threats, obscene images, as well as internet communications via text, messaging, computer or email, which conveys harmful or false information on social media sites.
Harassment is understood to be a repeated pattern of behavior intended to scare, harm, anger, or shame a targeted individual. Online harassment involves these actions using digital technologies such as social media platforms, email or messaging services, gaming platforms or cellphone communication.
Online harassment normally has six forms. These includes hate speech, which consist of damaging or threatening content directed toward aspects of identity such as race, religion, or gender identity; sexual harassment that relates to unwelcome or unauthorized behavior that is sexual in nature, including publishing private images; revenge porn, which includes posting explicit or nude photos of a former partner online without their consent; cyberstalking, which is repeated internet behavior that is intended to cause emotional stress and fear of physical harm; doxing is revealing another's private information on the internet for public consumption; and impersonation, which is simply identity theft by participating on the internet as another.
