Female firefighter's suspected suicide sparks cyberbullying probe

"We should all know by now that victim-shaming never works and can actually be counterintuitive. It seems someone should relay that fact to Twitter and Facebook users. A study out of UCLA recently showed that cyberbullying victims who overshare have a harder time gaining support from other social media users, even if those users have witnessed the alleged harassment. According to lead researchers, there are unwritten social media laws just like in real life. Apparently, one of those unwritten rules states that oversharing is never permitted."
