Virtual harassment is a research concept and field of study examining harmful, aggressive, or unwanted behaviors perpetrated through digital or networked technologies. It investigates the forms, dynamics, impacts, and social-technological contexts of such behaviors, characterized by their mediation through virtual environments, potential for anonymity, content persistence, and capacity for widespread dissemination. The concept is significant for understanding the psychosocial consequences, legal implications, and technological challenges posed by online misconduct in contemporary society.
