El acoso cibernetico y el derecho a la honra y buen nombre

Abstract

Investigating cyberbullying and the right to honor and good name of people is paramount, since currently the number of cases are alarming where the main objective of executing cyberbullying is to denigrate and damage the image of a person before the society or in turn cause psychological repercussions that affect their emotional integrity. According to research conducted by several writers, the misuse of new technologies and globalization collaborate to make the commission of some crimes through the internet, mostly what facilitates the use of the same is the anonymity that generates uncertainty in the victims. Cyberbullying is an aggressive and intentional act that is directed to the direct damage of a person carried out in a repetitive and constant way over time through the use of a social network or virtual platform, and that in our country is not found typified as a crime. The importance of the investigation lies in the fact that cyberbullying can be regulated as it violates the right to honor and good name of people, whose rights are inherent to the human being, which generates a legal vacuum, and which in turn The Constitution guarantees the protection of the same through the State and its control entities. The application of the proposed proposal will be widely welcomed by the number of cases that have remained unpunished and that continue to be committed because by not establishing a clear and prior rule on the materiality of this problem there can be no crime and much less a penalty.
