Receiving repeated messages from another user that make you feel uncomfortable qualifies as cyber-harassment, which, just like IRL, is never acceptable. Whether it’s insulting, discriminatory, or defamatory remarks, sexual content without consent, or even compliments, if it’s unwanted and repeated, these messages can take a toll on your happiness and mental health.
