✅ Our key takeaway:
There is an urgent need for standardised national measurement tools and context-sensitive, school-based prevention programs, especially those that actively target bystanders, not only bullies and victims.

We also found consistent links between cyberbullying and:
• digital literacy levels
• family structure & parental monitoring
• school climate & academic motivation
• social media & smartphone use.

The end of a lovely trip should not be this message waiting for me after landing safe and sound, @lufthansa. At least @Ryanair would tell me to my face that they’re not getting the luggage on the aircraft. 😂

The study calls for:
✔ Balanced, non-sensational reporting;
✔ Survivor-centred storytelling;
✔ Nuanced privacy–safety discussions;
✔ Stronger collaboration between journalism, research & digital policy.

Media doesn’t just report online grooming. It shapes how society understands it, influences policy, and affects public anxiety.

Siber zorbalık dijital dünyanın tek tehdidi değil. Siber köleleştirme ve çocuklara yönelik cinsel istismar hızla yayılıyor. Çocukların üçte biri internette istemediği içeriklere maruz kalıyor. Peki, ne yapılıyor? | Dr. Sinan Aşçı yazdı.

😮‍💨 The review process takes time (submitted May 29, 2024; still under review!), but findings deserve to travel.

Our scoping review on AI-driven detection of online harms is now on SSRN.

👉🏻 A safer digital world for children means recognising this complexity and ensuring the responsibility does not fall on parents alone, but is shared through stronger policies, accountable platforms, resilient schools and supportive communities.

[Sinan Aşçı @sinanasci]

👉🏻 Overreliance on the “parent as sole protector” model is risky in addressing childhood vulnerabilities.

Documentaries like this humanise what research shows us: that online risks intersect with trust, family, and identity in ways that statistics alone can’t capture.
