Online disinhibition refers to the phenomenon in which individuals experience a diminished sense of restraint and inhibition
during their interactions in virtual environments compared to face-to-face communication. This alteration in behavior can
foster an environment conducive to cyberbullying, as people may express themselves more aggressively or negatively, feeling
shielded by the anonymity provided by the online world. The lack of immediate consequences in virtual interactions allows
individuals to engage in harmful behaviors, such as spreading hate speech, threats, or derogatory comments, thus
contributing to the prevalence of cyberbullying. It is imperative to address online disinhibition to mitigate the escalation of
such detrimental behaviors in the virtual realm.
