What differentiates harmful digital communications and bullying from
their offline counterparts is the:

● ubiquity and ease of access to technology in modern life;
● ease of dissemination to a global audience;
● persistence of the information and the great difficulty in removing it;
and
● facility for anonymity.http://www.justice.govt.nz/publications/global-publications/h/harmful-digital-communications-cabinet-social-policy-committee-paper
