◯Preventive Measures and Actions Against Cyberbullying[2]

     In Prout Village, personal IDs assigned to individuals manage everything from birth records and current addresses to medical histories and overall population data. Using these IDs, all sites on the internet with posting or commenting capabilities require prior personal ID registration to create an account and use the site. Usernames can be real or anonymous. This personal ID includes an address from which immediate reports can be made to the local 5th Town assembly.

Whether or not usernames are displayed when posting or commenting, a reporting button is always available. Reported comments or posts are temporarily hidden.

This system also applies to announcements made by organizations, ensuring that notifications are sent to the representative’s associated 5th Town assembly.

    The 5th Town assembly, as a third party, determines whether the report meets the criteria for slander. They also decide the duration of the action, considering how many times the offender has committed the crime and the likelihood of recurrence. The criteria hinge on whether the recipient feels attacked, hurt, or maligned. Since the leaders of Prout Village worldwide make these judgments, the following common actions are established.

"Levels of Cyberbullying and Measures on the Internet"

Level 1: Acts that verbally harm the victim

(Admission to a rehabilitation facility for a period of one week to one year, and a prohibition on using posting or commenting features for one to five years after release)

- Verbal abuse (e.g., idiot, die, disappear, creepy, hurtful nicknames).

- Denial of personality or appearance (e.g., shorty, ugly, dropout, human scum, your family is the worst).

Level 2: Acts that lower the social standing of the victim

(Admission to a rehabilitation facility for one to three years, and a prohibition on using posting or commenting features for one to five years after release)

- Spreading unverified information (e.g., someone was involved in compensated dating, the doctor at that hospital did not provide proper treatment, the food at that restaurant was awful. Even if it's true, it's actionable without evidence).

Level 3: Acts that make the victim fear for their safety

(Admission to a rehabilitation facility for three to five years, and a prohibition on using posting or commenting features for one to five years after release)

- Discriminatory remarks (gender, illness, disability, religion, faith, race, origin, profession, etc.).

- Threats or fraud (I'll kill you, I'll kidnap you, I'll burn it down, I'll make you regret this).

- Impersonating a specific person or falsifying personal IDs to spread information.

- Disclosure of personal information (real name, address, phone number, family information, posting photos that can identify the person, malicious invasion of privacy).

- Creation and use of a posting site without a reporting function.

Level 4: Acts that cause long-term suffering to the victim

(Admission to a rehabilitation facility for five to twenty years, and a prohibition on using posting or commenting features for one to five years after release)

- Posting irretrievable content such as nude or embarrassing photos.

- If the victim develops a long-term illness like depression.

Level 5: In the event of the victim's death

(Admission to a rehabilitation facility for ten years to indefinite, and a prohibition on using posting or commenting features for one to five years after release)

- If the victim dies as a result of cyberbullying, all posters involved in the cyberbullying become subject to action.
