He decided to take action, consulting with lawyer Guille Utrera, who specializes in digital rights. Pino's video details his experience and the legal steps involved in pursuing justice against online bullies. "I received an insult on one of my videos," Pino explains. "I decided to seek help from Guille, who advised me on the process of identifying the person behind the hateful comments."
