Most of us are familiar with the video collection site called YouTube. It’s a place where you can share your videos and comments on the videos made by others. Recently, the online broadcasting site is working on its fight against Cyber bullying scheme.
Engineers from You Tube vowed to do something against online bullying. So, they dedicated a whole new channel to the cause! Still wondering what falls under online bullying? Setting up offensive websites about their teachers as well as offensive text messages are just couple of instances of online bullying. Of course, they are different from your real life bullying: locker room taunts and getting punched, etc.
Whatever it is, YouTube people seem to have taken a step to prevent the online or Cyber bullying. The new channel devoted to the cause is known as beatbullying. Initially, folks thought that this isn’t going to work. All it’s going to do is make the online bullies more aware of what they are doing. Furthermore, bullying is definitely a sensitive topic and can mess you up.
Also, this kind of channel faces the legal aspect, censorship. However, despite of all these ‘barriers’, engineers at YouTube decided to move on with the beatbullying channel. I think this is a great effort on the part of the YouTube. Hopefully, it will create a positive impact on the folks around and stop the whole bullying thing.
