Abstract

Cyberbullying is a global phenomenon that profoundly affects social life, particularly in countries undergoing digital transformation, such as Algeria. With the increasing use of social media and information technology, new forms of social violence have emerged, including cyberbullying, which primarily targets young people. This phenomenon not only impacts individuals but also extends to society as a whole, especially in terms of social cohesion. Cyberbullying, through its negative effects on personal relationships and by generating feelings of doubt and fear, poses a threat to social bonds and solidarity within Algerian society. This article aims to provide a sociological analysis of the implications of cyberbullying on social cohesion in Algeria, highlighting social practices, community interactions, and their impact on social relationships within this specific context.
