With the development of the Internet, the world of the network is becoming colorful and diverse, and more and more people enter the world. With the increase in the number of people going online, there arise more contradictions and disputes. In this virtual world, anonymity matters. Netizens express themselves freely here. However, freedom of speech does not mean they can speak recklessly, nor does it mean they can infringe upon others' privacy or attack others at will. In recent years, there have come a considerable number of incidents of cyber violence, which have caused unimaginable harm to the victims.
Cyber violence is a form of violence with serious harm and bad influence. It refers to a hostile act via the Internet on the part of netizens, for slandering, defaming, and infringing on the reputation of others. Cyber violence applies to written words, pictures, videos, and other forms of information to attack others. Cyber violence causes reputation damage to the victimized parties, and it has crossed the moral bottom line, often accompanied by tort and illegal and criminal acts. Cyber violence is in essence the violence of Internet users and the extension of off-line violence on the network.
Nothing comes out of thin air. All bad things happen on a bad premise. As far as the post-90s and post-00s are concerned, most of them are immature youngsters who have a burst of sense of justice yet express their justice plainly and childishly. With their reckless posting online, the rumors scatter quickly, which intensifies the original trifle into a big issue. Through mobile phones, computers, and other devices, they are irresponsibly condemning, from the moral high ground, what they know nothing about. They make comments in an easy and carefree way, yet their irresponsible comments do great harm to the parties involved. Their vicious comments mirror the darkest side of society. And they unconsciously become the promoter of cyber violence.
Keyboards and words should not be tools to attack others. Familiar as we are with them, we must keep in mind kindness whenever we use them. If you have no liking for a keyboard warrior, please don't make yourself such a person. Don't hurt others with words in the virtual world as well as in the real world. All the netizens are expected to say no to online violence. We, the digital generation, with a disliking of keyboard warriors, should try to appeal to people to resist online violence. With our effort and advocate, the Internet will become safer and bring us more peace as well as more useful things.
