ABSTRACT
Cyberbullying (CB) is a global dilemma that is growing rapidly to affect more individuals including minors. The devastating consequences of CB indicate a pressing necessity to regulate unethical or illegal users' online behaviors. A remarkable number of researchers attempted to harness the potential of machine learning to detect and prevent such harmful behaviors, however, the existing studies targeting Arabic-based content are still emerging. Therefore, this paper provides a comprehensive review of the published empirical studies in CB detection in Arabic-based content with an emphasis on the adapted methodologies, gaps, and challenges. We hope this work would support researchers in the area of CB-detection to foster a safe online environment and protect against any harmful consequences of CB among users.
