Friday 20th June 2025 is Stop Cyberbullying Day, where everybody can get involved and make a difference both on and off-line. We are asking everybody who cares about cyberbullying, online hate campaigns and the future of the internet to join our growing movement for action and to help us create a kinder, more tolerant internet free from abuse. This year, our focus is on digital wellbeing so we’re calling on the OMBLES to help address the balance between the doom-scroll and promoting positive content that we can engage with online.
The algorithms engage us based on what we spend our time reading and interacting with. Unfortunately, if something makes us feel down, angry or upset, we tend to spend time looking at it but the algorithm cannot make the distinction of why we have been looking at something like that in comparison when we spend time looking and sharing content we love like our hobbies, interests, art, pets, comedy and more…
That’s why we’re calling on the OMBLES to do what they do best, and share their ideas to make a difference and get people talking about #STOPCYBERBULLYINGDAY in a way that reminds people to share positive, fun content online and help people to express themselves fully without judgement or negativity.
OMBLE Ross Brodie, created a brilliant idea for ‘Timeline Cleansers’ a little while ago…so today, we have turned that into a real product and we want YOU to advertise it.
Imagine them on the shelves in the supermarkets and how they could be used to clean up timelines and improve our lives. Could we do a Spring Clean of our socials to curate our feeds better? Removing any negativity and promoting a fresh way of thinking where we scroll past the negativity of the algorithm and engage more with the things we enjoy…which, in-turn, will feed us even more of that positive content that we enjoy.
Thus, making us happier overall.
Scribbles, notes, designs, sketches etc welcome.
Let's get people thinking about social media in a refreshing way.
