The terms of harassment, threats, and cyberstalking are different in the kind and extent of the harm to the target. Harassment is usually connected with morally affecting the victim, trying to highlight the person’s weak points. Threats include the highest level of harm to the victim. Threats usually are associated with dangerous warnings, which are supposed to cause potential damage to the victim’s physical state.
Cyberstalking is connected primarily to internet or e-mail threats. It can involve both of the two mentioned above types of hazardous communication: harassment and threats. Therefore, cyberstalking is the general term that can combine different types of bullying on the internet. The main differentiating feature is that it includes the repetitiveness of the threats.
