Swantry Well Positioned as Pending Election to Increase Cyberbullying Laws
PALM SPRINGS, CA -- November 06, 2016 -- WorldFlix, Inc. (OTC PINK: WRFX), an App / Technology company that operates through a variety of niche industries using unique and disruptive technologies, sees its Swantry app well positioned as election to strengthen cyberbullying laws.
Hillary Clinton Initiative
Clinton's initiative, Better Than Bullying, would provide $500 million in new funding to states that develop comprehensive anti-bullying plans, empowering communities to improve school climates and support our kids.
Under her initiative, the federal government will provide flexible grants to states to tailor anti-bullying plans to their local communities, in keeping with the following national priorities:
Focus on Expanding Cyberbullying Laws
One stipulation for receiving the money is that states adopt anti-bullying laws that incorporate specific language about cyberbullying or add cyberbullying to existing laws. Some type of anti-bullying legislation exists in 48 out of 50 states, but the scope and reach of these laws vary widely.
“We know that bullying is a real problem in our classrooms, our playgrounds, and online,” Clinton said in a speech in North Carolina on October 27. “We’re going to launch a major new effort to help states and communities and schools and families end bullying wherever it takes place, and we will work together to make the internet a safer space for kids.”
While the Internet is essential to helping students learn and communicate, cyberbullying has become a harmful extension of bullying in the classroom. The ease with which demeaning and damaging content can be posted on social media networks like Facebook and Twitter make it difficult for our kids to ever really escape bullying. We need to invest in innovative solutions that allow students, parents, educators, and other adults to make the Internet safer while respecting First Amendment rights.
Melania Trump
On Nov. 03, 2016, Melania Trump, the wife of Presidential candidate Donald Trump stated that one of her top priorities as First Lady would be to curb bullying, especially of young people, on social media networks.
“As we know, now social media is a centerpiece of our lives. It can be a useful tool for connection and communication,” the wife of Donald Trump said. “Our culture has gotten too mean and too rough, especially to children and teenagers,” she added.
Digital harassment, or cyberbullying, is common among children. On average, 28 percent of students say they have been cyberbullied and an average of 16 percent says they have cyberbullied others.
So with both parties firmly committed to combating the growing issue of cyberbullying, this election makes the aspect for a mobile app to help parents fight the issue of cyberbullying, even more, brighter in the coming months.
Swantry will target insurance companies to help empower school administrators with Swantry monitoring technology to help them stay ahead of risk, and potential lawsuit litigation some of these cases may produce. For the insurance companies, a technology such as Swantry could help keep down liability costs for the insurance providers, and potential insurance costs for the schools that implement such monitoring technology.
