Huffington Post Technology Editor Bianca Bosker appeared on Nightline Friday night to discuss cyberbullying, online privacy, and the suicide of teen Tyler Clementi.

Clementi, a Rutgers freshman, killed himself after discovering that his roommate had broadcast an intimate sexual encounter via webcam over the Internet.

"We see this played out almost until the end through these digital forums," Bosker said. "And it's not until the very end, sometime when it's too late, that it really becomes a face to face, real life issue."

"Increasingly, young people are blurring the lines between private lives and public lives," she added. "It's important to remember that the Web doesn't forget."
