The need for targeted criminal provisions and platforms’ responsibility to effectively address cyberbullying and online harassment
Joint motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
| Joint motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 7. Invites the Commission to assess the need for a more harmonised approach at EU level to define cyberbullying; invites the Commission to examine whether cyberbullying, including the non-consensual dissemination of intimate material, should be recognised as a particularly serious crime with a cross-border dimension at EU level; reiterates its support for adding hate crime, which could cover the most severe forms of cyberbullying, to the list of EU crimes under Article 83(1) TFEU; | 7. Stresses that online forms of harassment, including cyberbullying, constitute a serious and harmful phenomenon requiring effective prevention and response measures; whereas, while such conduct can have significant individual and societal impacts, it does not, in its current manifestations, fulfil the criteria of a particularly serious crime with a clear cross-border dimension within the meaning of Article 83(1) TFEU; |
