Title: Has Anyone Ever Persistently Harassed You Although You Blocked That Person?
Post by: Smorbe on May 10, 2023, 06:37:20 am: I have read stories about people who get harassed by cyber bullies. Although those people have blocked the cyber bullies, those cyber bullies have persisted by starting more accounts and continuing to harass those people. That's why I hate blocking people who annoy me. Has this ever happened to you?

It's also important to be aware of the risks of online threats, such as sextortion; you can read more about it here: digitalinvestigation.com (https://digitalinvestigation.com/sextortion). To protect yourself, avoid sharing any compromising photos or videos with anyone, especially strangers.

Yes, unfortunately, persistent cyber bullying is a common issue faced by many individuals. Some cyber bullies may resort to creating new accounts or finding alternative ways to continue harassing others even after being blocked. This behavior can be frustrating and disheartening for the victims.
