Cyberbullying

 

At Eastlink, we take the issue of Cyberbullying very seriously.

What is Cyberbullying? Cyberbullies intimidate or humiliate others through technology like text messages, online videos, and sites like Facebook™ and Twitter™. Tens of thousands of Canadians are affected each month. A cyberbullying attempt can torment victims for years as comments and videos posted online are hard to remove.

How to Avoid Playing a Part

Don’t be a cyberbully

Commenting on or sharing humiliating messages, videos and posts is cyberbullying.

Protect yourself

Password protect your phone and don’t send pictures or messages unless you are comfortable with everyone seeing them.

Protect your privacy

Personal information posted online can stay there forever. Internet and cellphone service providers cannot take down Facebook™ pages, Twitter™ accounts or YouTube™ videos.

How to get help: 

  • Talk to your parents, teachers, friends and other people you can trust.
  • Eastlink Wireless customers who are having trouble with cyberbullies can call to have their number changed for free, 1-888-345-1111 or *611 from your Eastlink Wireless phone.
  • Ask social site providers like Facebook™ and Twitter™ for help shutting down cyberbullying accounts.
