Cyberbullying in Norway - the fight against hate speech continues
Politicians and local government organizations are encouraged to engage in the fight against threats and hate speech, which is often directed at politicians, important officials, high-level state officials, and public figures. We are often not aware of it, but cybercrime in this area is already happening on a really large scale, and we must say stop. The Minister of Local Government and Modernization, Monica Mæland, made an important appeal to all political parties in the Norwegian parliament - in which she asks to organize a joint meeting on the issue of cyberbullying.
Attack on local politicians as a motive for action ...
The decision to take important and specific steps was made as a result of recent events that took place in the Klepp commune. There, mayor Ane Mari Braut Nese was attacked with a series of attacks threats against yourself. The problem became so serious that the mayor was forced to move her family and children to another, safe place. This example is proof that you can no longer stand still and watch.Norwegian authorities made the right decision that practical actions, information meetings, increased vigilance and changes in the law are necessary to eliminate cyberbullying in Norway.
