El ciberacoso por redes sociales en el Ecuador

Abstract

Cyberbullying is generated in different digital platforms, one of them is social networks used by people of all ages in different societies. The problem is the increase of cyberbullying in social networks that cause all kinds of discomfort in people and their environment. The objective is to determine the current state of cyberbullying in social networks in Ecuador to evidence the extent of the effects and consequences in families using the reports of the Attorney General's Office. It was concluded that ICTs are a great contribution in social platforms, but not all of them guarantee a detection of cyberbullying; in Ecuador, by the year 2020 the violation of privacy had 118 complaints with an increase of 18%, and adolescent pornography had 2008 complaints with an increase of 32%; linear regression indicates 7070 cases of cyberbullying by the year 2025, that is 70% growth; it is necessary to mitigate the risks that exist in social networks through algorithms, architectures, software or processes; this proposal presented a small contribution to use these technologies.
