been identified as a major threat on online social media platforms. Pew Research Center [13] reports that among 4248 adults in the United States, 41% have personally experienced harassing behavior online, whereas 66% witnessed harassment directed towards others. Around 22% of adults have experienced offensive name-calling, purposeful embarrassment (22%), physical threats (10%), and sexual harassment (6%), among other types of harassment. Social media platforms are the most prominent grounds for such toxic behavior. Even though they often provide ways of flagging offensive and hateful content, only 17% of all adults have flagged harassing conversation, whereas only 12% of adults have reported someone for such acts [13].
