◯Preventive Measures and Actions Against Cyberbullying[3]

     This is a starting point, but in Prout Village, the aim is to reduce the crime of bullying to near zero by establishing these boundaries. While there is freedom of speech on the internet, these acts of cyberbullying constitute verbal violence, and without rules, it would turn into a lawless area. Repeated exposure can drive victims to suicide or constitute business interference.

    Conversely, counterarguments that bring evidence from data or literature can be considered high-quality critical comments and are not problematic. However, comments using words like "idiot" can be difficult to categorize under these criteria. For example, a viewer of a certain video who comments, "I think what happened in that video is something an idiot would do," might just be expressing their subdued opinion with the strong word "idiot" to resonate with the recipient or might simply be reflecting their narrow worldview.

Moreover, comments such as "Idiot, idiot, idiot, you are truly an idiot" could express disappointment from someone who trusted the person, or it might just be verbal abuse. The interpretation can also depend on the content of the video and the context of the comments.

Additionally, commenting "creepy" on the protagonist's face in a blooper video could be seen as a gentle poke, "That face at that moment was really creepy, haha," or a harsher expression, "That face was seriously creepy, haha." Being under the criteria of cyberbullying does not make using such words a crime per se, much depends on how the recipient perceives them. However, a comment like "You are truly disgusting, please die" would likely be taken simply as verbal abuse by many.

    In Prout Village, the initial delineation of what constitutes cyberbullying is made by the victim, who decides whether to report the incident. Once reported, the 5th Town Assembly discusses it, with the primary criterion being whether the recipient perceives the comment as carrying an intent to attack or hurt. Thus, users are advised to refrain from making ambiguous statements that could be criminal, and to review their posts before submitting them. The fine line of what constitutes a crime can change based on the values of the victim and the 5th Town Assembly.
