The Harassment Game: Cyberbullying for Adults
summary
Describes concrete mechanics and remedies: that LiveJournal finds 75–85% of trolling comes from ~300 dedicated accounts and that IP blocking worked to stop mass abuse, while modern platforms lack those controls. Notes tools that actually let targets survive—Block Together and Blockbot (used to block hundreds of thousands of accounts)—and shows harassment becomes doxxing, coordinated threats, and even monetized campaigns. Reports one case where law enforcement visit stops a harasser.
