👉 Abuse computing refers to the misuse of technology, particularly digital platforms and tools, for harmful purposes such as cyberbullying, harassment, identity theft, and spreading misinformation. This can involve the exploitation of user data for malicious intent, the creation and dissemination of harmful content, or the use of technology to intimidate, manipulate, or coerce individuals. For instance, cyberbullying leverages social media to torment victims, while identity theft involves stealing personal information for fraudulent activities. Abuse computing poses significant risks to privacy, security, and mental health, necessitating robust regulatory frameworks, technological safeguards, and user education to mitigate its impact.
