THE CIVIL LIABILITY OF AGGRESSORS FOR THE PRACTICE OF CYBERBULLYING

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the civil liability of aggressors for cyberbullying, its legal and social implications, as well as effective measures to prevent and remedy this phenomenon. Regarding the methodology, a descriptive and explanatory methodology was used, with a qualitative approach, using bibliographic research instruments, books, articles and other materials already published. After the research, it was found that in the absence of effective prevention measures in the real and virtual environment, civil liability emerges as a necessary instrument not only to compensate for the damage caused, but also to protect the violated rights and discourage the repetition of these conducts. This accountability must occur in an exemplary manner, especially after the enactment of Laws No. 13,185/2015, 13,277/2016 and 14,811/2024, which reinforced the legal duties aimed at preventing and combating bullying and, especially, cyberbullying.
