“…Research regarding adolescents' online anonymity shows that some adolescents exhibit harmful online behaviors through anonymous interaction, with intentions to escape from the potential consequences of their actions (e.g., Lareki et al, 2022;Wright, 2014). Not surprisingly online anonymity is a predictor of negative interpersonal outcomes among adolescents, such as cyber or digital aggression and cyberbullying (e.g., Kim, et al, 2023;Lareki et al, 2022;Wright, 2014). On the other hand, despite involving certain risks and potentially encouraging the display of maladaptive behaviors, cyber anonymity has been suggested to provide adolescents with increased freedom over self-presentation and an avenue to address important developmental needs (e.g., Ellison et al, 2016;Maczewski, 2002).…”

Despite the surging anonymous social media use among adolescents living in non‐Western countries, such as Turkey, existing studies have been conducted in a Western context and do not provide a holistic understanding of adolescents' lived experiences of anonymous social networking site (SNS) interactions. As a result, Turkish adolescents aged 12–15 years (N = 20) were interviewed about their lived experiences of anonymous SNS interactions, using a phenomenological qualitative approach. The authors identified 10 themes. Four themes address circumventing social norms and avoiding repercussions: mocking friends, seeking revenge, engaging in activism, and exploring and expressing self. Four themes pertain to initiating, developing, and testing relationships: exploring romantic relationships, testing friendships, seeking information about others, and gaining attention and/or popularity. Reflecting a major intrapersonal dynamic, another theme describes low self‐confidence/esteem. The final theme addresses a significant risk associated with the anonymous use of SNSs: increased risk of child sexual exploitation. The results provide important insights into the roles of anonymous online interactions in satisfying adolescents' developmental needs and indicate the importance of providing them with support and education to help them navigate the online world safely and responsibly.

“…Sayangnya klaim atas "ketidakberbatasan" tersebut membuat batas untuk benar dan salah, maupun hal yang baik dan tidak, atau hal-hal lain yang mengarah ke nilai kepantasan dan etis menjadi abu-abu dan semakin tidak jelas. (Besser, 2021;Rainie et al, 2017;Kim et al, 2023).…”

“…Anonimitas adalah keadaan atau kondisi dimana seseorang sebagi pengguna internet dapat melakukan aktivitas atau berpartisipasi tanpa diidentifikasi atau diketahui oleh orang lain (Zhao et al, 2008;Oh & Syn 2015). Menurut Kim et al (2023), Anonimitas dapat diartikan sebagai suatu bentuk pengaburan atau penyembunyian identitas seseorang dalam konteks interaksi atau kegiatan tertentu, dengan demikian, individu yang menjaga anonimitasnya dapat melakukan tindakan atau berbicara tanpa terpapar risiko atau konsekuensi terkait identitas pribadi mereka.…”

Jejaring sosial adalah sebuah wadah bertemunya berbagai jenis pengguna berikut dengan berbagai jenis kebutuhan informasi dan tujuan pengaksesan. Dengan adanya kondisi tersebut, untuk menjamin keamanan dan kenyamanan privasi pengguna, Anonimitas lahir sebagai “fasilitas minimal’ guna mengamankan informasi personal ketika pengguna sedang berjejaring. Namun seiring perkembangan zaman karateristik pengguna juga berubah, sehingga terjadi pergeseran preferensi penggunaan dan kepatuhan terhadap regulasi serta etika pada saat berjejaring sosial di ruang. Hal tersebut juga menjadi stimultan tumbuhnya malfungsi dari Anonimitas yang mengarah ke tindakan pelanggaran etika sampai dengan tindakan kriminal.Dengan berbagai permasalahan yang terjadi, tulisa ini dimaksudkan untuk menggali pergeseran pola penggunaan dan karakteristik pengguna terhadap munculnya penyimpangan anonimitas di ruang digital, dengan menggunakan konsep kebudayaan dan etika digital. Dengan menerapkan metode studi literatur, penelitian ini bertujuan membentuk suatu pemahaman yang mendalam terkait penggunaan anonimitas di ruang digital. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan paradigma konstruktivis, fokus pada pengumpulan data konsep dan teori serta data pendukung terkait masalah kebebasan berpendapat, anonimitas, budaya partisipasi, dan dominasi subyektivitas pengetahuan di ruang digital dalam rentang waktu 15 tahun (2008-2023). Hasil kajian diharapkan dapat memberikan saran yang dapat diterima oleh semua pihak terkait, serta menjadi bahan diskusi lanjutan dalam konteks yang sama pada masa yang akan datang. Hasil penelitian disimpulkan bahwa Anonimitas dalam ruang digital menciptakan tantangan terkait hak kekayaan intelektual, peningkatan kasus cybercrime, dan akses tidak terkendali terhadap konten kontroversial seperti pornografi, menyulitkan regulasi pemerintah karena kendala teknis.

Cyber aggression is prevalent among emerging adults and is associated with a range of mental and behavioral issues. One particularly concerning outcome is the widespread presence of suicidal ideation in this group, which poses a significant threat to their life. However, the specific impact of cyber aggression on suicidal ideation and the longitudinal mechanisms remains unclear. Hence, this study sought to address these gaps by applying the general aggression model (GAM). The investigation utilized three‐wave longitudinal data with 6‐month intervals from a large sample of Chinese emerging adults (N = 1568; 54.7% female; Mage = 19.70 [SD = 1.44], ranging from 17 to 26 years). The random‐intercept cross‐lagged panel model (RI‐CLPM) was employed to explore the roles of depressive symptoms and nonsuicidal self‐injury (NSSI) between cyber aggression and suicidal ideation at both the between‐ and within‐person levels. The findings indicated that, at the between‐person level, there were trait‐like associations between depressive symptoms and cyber aggression, NSSI, and suicidal ideation. At the within‐person level, cyber aggression exhibited unidirectional positive cross‐lagged effects on depressive symptoms and NSSI, and could subsequently indirectly lead to suicidal ideation via the contemporaneous associations from depressive symptoms and NSSI to suicidal ideation. These results not only align with GAM but also shed light on the underlying mechanisms linking cyber aggression to suicidal ideation. Also, the findings underscore the significance of maintaining a positive network environment for the well‐being of all internet users even cyber aggression perpetrators.
