Cyberbullying is a global term that means the harassment of someone by use of electronic media, usually but not always social media. This essay is intended first to be editable by all as part of consensus forming on the processes Wikipedia should follow when cyberbullying has been identified or is suspected on Wikipedia. Following the building of consensus over those processes, the essay will be proposed as a guideline, perhaps as a policy. Cyber bullying is widely morally unacceptable, and most schools have a cyberbullying policy and conference.
