The paper begins with an overview of the theoretical framework, key features of cyberbullying and the roles that people can play in it. In this context, the paper points out the specifics of cyberbullying compared to the traditional bullying, while pointing out the relevant characteristics of the cyber space itself. Based on the consideration of the harmful consequences of cyberbullying, the paper points out the considerable danger of this phenomenon, and consequently, the necessity of its adequate suppression and prevention. In this regard, the paper will present possible solutions for cyber violence related to the application of modern technologies in cyber space. In particular, the paper discusses the importance of utilising information technologies in the fight against cyberbullying, through consideration of their application in the detection of cyberbullying based on the analysis of textual and other content. The capabilities of artificial intelligence and its related fields, that is, technologies that are applied in the suppression of cyber violence will be illustrated through specific projects and models developed for these purposes, which are also applied in cases of peer cyber violence. The paper also examines the possible ways of using certain technologies for providing support to victims of cyber violence.
