Cyberintimidation : aspects légaux

Présenté le 13 février, 2014 - La technologie a pris une grande place dans notre quotidien et ce même dans nos relations sociales. Malheureusement, l'intimidation ne fait pas exception et pour les jeunes, l'utilisation de la technologie pour intimider est un réel fléau.

Le webinair fera un survol des aspects légaux de la cyberintimidation en Ontario.
