But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure.
got2b is about self-expression. got2b wants to empower everyone to celebrate their originality and individuality with their style, for them to show their personality and attitude - without the fear of repercussions. Therefore, got2b not only wants to raise awareness on the issue of cyberbullying but, more importantly, wants people to engage through activities and act.
Anti-Cyberbullying is close to the heart of got2b, as cyberbullying affects a lot of people and leads them to edit the ways they present themselves to the world. They feel silenced, hide their feelings, and feel unable to express themselves fully, which goes against everything got2b stands for.
We are committed to tackling cyberbullying because it is a global issue that sadly is on the rise. In fact, in a recent global study, 2 out of 5 teens have been bullied online, leading to psychological illness, anxiety and even suicide (Source: Patchin, Ph.D, Justin. "2019 Cyberbullying Data“; Safety Net: Cyberbullying’s Impact on Young People’s Mental Health: Inquiry Report. The Children’s Society.).
Therefore, got2b has partnered with Ditch the Label to amplify and support them in combatting online hate and cyberbullying. The collaboration has been kicked off on Anti-Cyberbullying Day 2021 with a series of virtual live talks and the release of digital toolkit prepared by Ditch the Label. Furthermore, the DTL Harmful Content Removal Tool aims to prevent harmful behavior right at its source and makes it easier and as seamless as possible for users to flag and counteract abusive posts and comments on social media.
The partnership is an important step to help raise awareness about the problems associated with cyberbullying. Together, we will use the opportunity to empower our partners and consumers to call out online bullying wherever they see it and raise up anyone who feels unable to live a fully empowered life because of cyberbullying.
got2b is about self-expression. got2b wants to empower everyone to celebrate their originality and individuality with their style, for them to show their personality and attitude - without the fear of repercussions. People can’t live their true lives online if they’re victims of cyberbullying, so got2b wants to empower them to break down the barriers.
Over the last year, a vast majority of anti-cyberbullying organisations report a notable increase in cyberbullying (Source: DQ Institute). According to these groups, cyberbullying is on the rise worldwide and has increased over the past year given that everyone has been increasingly living their lives online during the pandemic and self-isolation measures. got2b takes a stand, raises awareness, and does its bit to create a more positive culture online and want to encourage people to celebrate their originality.
As got2b, we will stand up against hate speech and bullying and block or react to comments on our own channels whenever we deem it necessary. We will also take the opportunity to support and back the co-creators who are part of our campaign and encourage our community to do so, too. We have a “zero tolerance” policy for online bullying on our channels.
Our co-creators will have direct access to a support mentor at our partners Ditch The Label who will be available to provide ad-hoc support, remove abusive social media content and will be there in the unlikely event of any co-creators being targeted.
