On social media platforms, organized harassment or cyberbullying usually involves multi-person collaboration or systematic planning, with complex and destructive methods. The following are common classifications and specific methods： --- ### **1. Fake account abuse** -**Botnet siege**: Manipulate a large number of fake accounts (bots) to centrally abuse, swipe screens, or forward offensive content. -**Impersonating identity**: Falsifying the victim's account to post false information, or pretending to be someone else to slander. --- ### **2. Collaborative content attack** -**Tag abuse**: Create malicious hashtags (such as #XXX#) to guide users to participate in the dissemination. -**Screen-swiping bombing**: Multiple people send repetitive or insulting comments at the same time, flooding the victim's normal interaction. -**Negative review attack**: Collectively swipe low scores or bad reviews on other platforms other than social platforms (such as e-commerce and scoring websites). --- ### **3. Privacy violation and information manipulation** -**Human flesh search (Doxxing)**: The members of the organization divide their time to collect and disclose the victim's private information (address, telephone number, and relative information). -**Dissemination of false information**: Make false screenshots, tamper with chat records, or use Deepfake technology to fabricate vilified content. --- ### **4. Malicious reporting and account blocking** -**Collective reporting**: Multiple people reported the victim's account at the same time, and took advantage of a loophole in the platform rules to make it blocked by mistake. -**Falsification of evidence of violation**: Deliberately irritate the victim and intercept his reaction as “evidence of violation” to submit a report. --- ### **5. Technical attack** -**Automated tools**: Use scripts or software to send harassing private messages or comments in bulk. -**Distributed denial of service (DDoS)**: The victim's account or related website (such as a personal blog) is paralyzed by technical means. --- ### **6. Cross-platform linkage harassment** -**Multi-platform siege**: Simultaneous attacks on different platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and forums to increase the pressure on victims. -**Encrypted communication organization**: Use tools such as Telegram or Discord to secretly plan actions and avoid platform monitoring. --- ### **7. Psychological manipulation and Social engineering** -**Threats and intimidation**: Send death threats, violent pictures, or suggest offline harm. -**Pitfalls of social engineering**: Falsely approaching the victim to gain trust and induce him to divulge privacy or sensitive information. --- ### **8. Abuse of platform functions** -**Group/chat room attack**: Create a closed group to plan an action, or pull the victim into the group for collective abuse. -**Live broadcast interference**: Swipe the screen during the victim's live broadcast to insult the barrage or maliciously reward (such as a gift with an insulting message). --- ### **9. Manipulation of public opinion and spread of rumors** -**Rumor mill**: Fabricate and spread false information (such as "XXX cheating/crime") to manipulate public awareness. -**Algorithm manipulation**: Use the likes and retweets mechanism to push offensive content on hot searches and expand the negative impact. --- ### **10. Offline combined with online threats** -**Swatting**: Falsely reporting emergencies (such as hostage-taking) to induce the police to break into the victim's residence, and simultaneously broadcast the humiliation online. -**Malicious order/service abuse**: Fraudulently use the victim's information to order takeaway, express delivery or door-to-door services to harass their daily lives. --- ###**Defense and response recommendations** -**Platform level**: Strengthen the identification of false accounts, optimize the reporting and review mechanism, and limit batch operations (such as the frequency of private messages). -**User level**: Enable privacy protection settings, avoid irritating attackers, save evidence in a timely manner, and ask the platform or law enforcement agencies for help. -**Social level**: Promote anti-cyberbullying legislation and raise public awareness and resistance to coordinated harassment. These methods highlight the harmfulness of organized cyber violence, which requires multi-party collaboration to effectively curb it.
