| Title | Protection of Human Rights in Cyber Space: How to Protect Teenagers from Cyberbullying? Examples of Russian Federation and the United States |
| Summary | Digital revolution made everyday life much more convenient. However, this phenomenon also has many disadvantages one of which is cyberbullying. My work assesses the degree of legal protection of adolescents from cyberbullying using examples from Russia and the United States. As a methodology, I use an analysis of scholarly articles on cyberbullying and international regulations of human rights in cyberspace as well as Civil Code, Code of Administrative Offenses and Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and tree states of the US (California Code and the Missouri and Ohio Revised Statutes). I begin my work by assessing the theoretical basis of the topic, and then move on to look at international legal norms and the legal framework of the two states. In Russia the term cyberbullying does not exist in legal documents, so there is a lot of confusion at the procedural stage. That is why it is urgent to introduce a Federal Law which would fix what specific violations fall under the crime of cyberbullying and the measure of punishment for committing it. American Federal law also does not mention cyberbullying, but each state independently develops policies and laws to protect children from cyberbullying. As practice shows, all work to prevent and eliminate cyberbullying rests on the schools themselves, which do not always cope with this task. That's why it's important to increase control within school districts in America. |
