AI Thread Summary
Cyber-bullying remains a critical issue, particularly on social networking sites like Facebook, which has implemented policies aimed at preventing such behavior. Recent high-profile incidents have highlighted the platform's challenges in managing bullying. Victims are directed to resources for support, but the emergence of hate groups and mob mentality poses ongoing risks. The technology that facilitates these online mobs also provides law enforcement with tools to monitor and track offenders. Concerns have been raised about the safety of individuals like Casey Anthony, whose whereabouts have been publicized, leading to contests among users to capture her photo, which could endanger her safety.
