Violence on social media: identikit of “keyboard lions”. Social media have created particular behaviors that manifested differently in the past. Current communication has specific characteristics, such as exceptional speed and at the same time privacy protection and anonymity; this has composed a pool to which everyone can have access but revealing only certain aspects of itself. The exercise of criticism takes place on the web in a particular way. In it, individuals express their real aggression. The social network becomes a ring in which to vent every ailment, therefore invincible and frustrating, in a society evaluated as opposed to if not even responsible for its feared ineffectiveness, in unbridled competitiveness. It is in these cases that the keyboard lion not only manifests a normal dissent but dresses the anger of those who are wounded by the loneliness that they cannot tame or distinguish. Currently, in a society dominated by uncertainty, unemployment, and economic precariousness, media share news on violent events (sexual, physical, or psychological). These are not limited to manifesting aggressive or violent behaviors but show and disseminate such behaviors, as if they were trophies, through videos or images on mobile phones or social networks.

CRYPTO VIOLENCE The world of cyber bullies that rot inside Consumes the youth's minds Taking one more step to failure, And feeling even more broken on the inside and even more devoid of breath Can you even see what's going on? Can you realize you realize what you have become? Visions poisoning you, injected right into (you) Can't you see it breaking your will Making you less you And I am bleeding through trying to reach you Through the digital world we live in Emptiness inside, darkness in your mind Don't let it consume you whole And I'm willing to give, give it all I got Just to save you from this, from your dying future And tell me Can you disconnect from that digitized dillusion? Can you disconnect from that digitized dillusion? Can you still think on your own (on your own) like a human being? And I am bleeding through trying to reach you Through the digital world we live in Emptiness inside, darkness in your mind Don't let it consume you whole There's no place for anger, there's no place for hate Don't succumb to violence, it's never too late to break free This darkness has to fall
