Survey Sheds Light on Scope of Online Harassment

Forty percent of American adult Internet users say they’ve been harassed online, according to a new survey by the Pew Research Center, which found the harassment is often by strangers on social-networking sites. More than half of those who experienced online harassment did not know the person involved in the most recent incident of harassment.
