It's still easier to ignore that people talking directly in your face. (I'm not saying it's not a problem, just that it's somewhat easier to control).

In the example I gave the person was actually charged. This was a little town in rural Canada with a handful of police officers, about 5 years ago. And it was just a minor politician lying about something on facebook, not anything as disturbing as some of the cyberbullying cases.

That would be people spreading rumours behind your back. > In the example I gave the person was actually charged. It does happen, but more sophisticated cyberbullying is often not prosecuted.
