As terrifying as it is to finally merge the classical and cyber bullying space, that merely represents the creativity and capability of a child. No company has or ever will secure user data. Hyperbullying is very tame compared to the abuse having access to the perception of almost every single student in almost every high school at almost any time allows for. Social media is obliterating kids enough, they really don't need AI enhanced tech bro perverts teaming up with Hyperbullies to create the ultimate predatory environment on top of everything...

So basically, yeah it seems like we're in Hell right now and we certainly are in the thick of it, but don't worry. There's many more depths of horrors beyond mortal comprehension we can fall to.

On an adjacently related note, it must be impossibly frustrating to write about anything involving minors nowadays since you can't say any of the victim/perpetrator names or link to any of the footage. So the whole article has to use indirect evidence, pronouns, vague suggestions, and nondescript abstractions to describe anything, which makes the whole article sound like it could be some AI response from a prompt about an AI generated rage-bait trend.

I do believe that a human writer wrote this to the best of their ability using the facts they have available, but the form their prose must take because of required censorship laws can very easily allow for people to argue the whole thing is AI generated slop and ignore it.
