Numerous cybercriminals are active in the online realm, carrying out cyber-crimes according to predetermined and preplanned agendas. Cyberbullying, which was formerly limited to physical limits, has now expanded online as a result of technology advancements. One type of cyberbullying is denigration or insult. The cyberbullying cases are in exponential rise in social media as per the reports of Computer Emergency Team by Sri Lanka. Insulting words are changeable in dynamic and the same terminology may have numerous meanings depending on the context. Bullying cannot be defined just because a statement comprises such a term. As a result, when classifying comments, standard keyword detecting approaches are insufficient. Other languages also may have dealt with this issue by utilizing lexical databases like WordNet, which might give synonyms as well as homonyms for words. Because no adequate lexical database mainly for the English language has been built, recognizing a word like bullying is difficult. As a result, employed rules to solve the problem. Facebook comments containing profanity were gathered, outliers were eliminated, and the remaining messages were pre-processed. Five feature extraction rules were employed to assess insult in the text. Following that, used the Support Vector Machine (SVM) technique. Using an F1-score of 85%, the findings demonstrate that when compared to existing works, SVM performs better. The focus on English language cyberbully identification, which has never been addressed earlier, distinguishes this study.
