After conducting some investigations into the issue about ‘cyberbully,’ I will now try to put more focus on our everyday lives and the news about this issue. In fact, I want to delve what’s behind these issues and to observe what would happen to the victims. Coincidently, there happen to be a good example of this experiment and that was a news, which was titled: “同志婚姻法案阻力大 蔡英文遭爆母姊也施壓.”

From this title, we can obviously know that it is actually a fake news from the media because it’s hardly believable to those educated people that how the families of the president can intervene into the politics; especially after the impeachment of the South Korea’s president. However, because of this fake news, the reputation of Taiwan’s president was badly damaged due to the believing of some un-educated people. Besides, this fake news also shocked a lot of homosexuals or the gay-marriage supporters. As a result, the Tsai government has no choice but to emergently release a statement that denied this news. That very news was titled as傳蔡英文母姊反同婚？ 府：從未有過這樣的對話.

As a consequence, we all know how extreme the cyberbully can be and how terrible the results will be like. I personally HATE the news media’s wrong behaviors and the way they make up the fake news in order to draw the public’s attention. If I could have the right or the access to; or I could luckily have some friends who are influentially powerful in politics, I would strongly encourage them to amend the laws to ban the wrongly leading news.
