The overall goal of the CU CyberSafety Research Center, founded in the
Department of Computer Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, is
to make the Internet safer for its users. The theme of safety is an
important emerging research topic on the Internet that manifests itself
daily as users navigate the Web and networked applications. For
example, one of our cybersafety research projects focuses on the issue
of making social network users safer from cyberbullying threats and
intimidation. Another of our cybersafety research projects seeks to
make both mobile and online video chat safer from the threat of
flashers. We will continue to pursue these and other exciting research
projects that integrate the theme of CyberSafety.
We are now sharing the dataset related to your cyberbullying research on Instagram, Vine and Ask.fm. You can find more information here. We have now developed an app for parents to monitor their kids' activities in Instagram social network and get notifications when a potential cyberbullying instance takes place. Link to the app: LINK - We wish to acknowledge financial support for this research from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) through grant CNS 1162614. Latest news!
