Most everyone will agree that online harassment can be a big problem, but what to do about stopping it is not always clear. Reporting online abuse is not easy, as it has to be done message by message, comment by comment, post by post, day after day. In addition, if you are being bothered on multiple apps or networks, the harassment has to be reported separately to each site host or company with no easy way to show how all the parts come together to make the life of a cyberbullying target miserable.

 

Enter HeartMob, a project that is raising funds to capture cross platform harassment, so that targets of cyberbullying can bring a more comprehensive report to companies or law enforcement to show a pattern of abuse. They are also working to help targets find support from other people who know first-hand what they are going through. This is certainly a platform to keep an eye out for when it is rolled out in the near future.
