Cyberbullying

Cabinet FÉRAL assists people affected by harassment committed or facilitated through the use of new technologies.

The fight against the spread of online hate, of which cyberstalking is a form, has become a major issue.

The matter presents certain difficulties linked to the widespread pseudonymity on the Internet, which complicates the identification of the perpetrators of online harassment, and to the risk of loss of digital evidence – hateful or harassing content is sometimes quickly deleted.

Cabinet FÉRAL assists its clients in all situations of cyber-harassment or online hate, whether these situations are caused by a single person or result from a massive coordination of several individuals.

Its lawyers intervene from the reporting to the removal of hateful content, including the recovery and preservation of evidence, the lifting of the pseudonymity of the persons involved and the initiation or follow-up of criminal proceedings.
