To be fair, I'm sure there are pretty severe cases of online harassment that can have serious effects... but this sort of wording:

The report also argues that "cyber touch is recognized as equally as harmful as physical touch," suggesting that online harassment might be just as lethal as domestic violence or sexual abuse.

or "Cyber violence is equivalent to physical violence" from the title of the Time article, seems to have divorced itself from widely accepted objective reality.

May be a case of any publicity is good publicity.
