Anonymous Chat chatbot feature of the Telegram application among USU FKM

interviews and the informant selection technique used was purposive sampling

overcome boredom, this received social support from peers for the informant to use
this feature, but the informant experienced verbal sexual harassment, namely
invitations to have sexual relations online and voice messages containing sexual
connotations and verbal harassment. visuals, namely sending pictures of the
perpetrator's genitals and stickers with sexual connotations through this feature,
thus having a psychological impact on the informant where the impact is a feeling
