Cyber victimization happens very commonly in today’s day and age. Recently, there has been a spike where many people “hype” up someone in the media and praise them, but then suddenly something is done that turns the users away. In other words, they have been “canceled”. On social media, you can deep dive into a person’s information and history. A blog post on the Grand Canon’s University page lists victim precipitation as being able to describe someone’s ethnicity, gender, or identity. It also explains that the description of the victim typically can cause the attack.
This same concept is not different online than in person. Someone does not have to be egging another’s house to torture or attack a victim. Instead, it has changed to stalking someone’s account and posting threatening words on their wall or page or post. You can find someone’s email, phone number, and address online and use that information against them to send threats.
