Among the psychosocial risks, exposure to shocking, hateful or pornographic content (Jehel 2015) on certain websites or in games can generate psychological and social difficulties, particularly during adolescence. The phenomenon of screen addiction is also denounced on the basis that it distances some users from everyday social activities, to the point of isolation. Even if the origin of the malaise of these individuals comes, most of the time, from the personal and family context, the digital environment can reveal these difficulties (Stora 2018). Verbal violence or humiliation repeatedly suffered through the Internet (Blaya 2013) are also threats likely to affect the psychological and moral health of individuals. We use the term cyber harassment to define these practices in which aggressors act with a feeling of total impunity, believing themselves to be hidden by the anonymity of the Internet.
