There was a very moving discussion about this subject on LBC this morning and anyone who doubts the scale of the problem men are facing in our society I suggest they listen to it via the website.
I've been told that this is a very good organisation that helps male victims of domestic violence:

Getting back to the salient topic, Chief Superintendent Gavin Thomas yesterday called for those who commit crimes on the internet to be forced to wear a WiFi jammer.

If this works, I believe that this would be a major step forward in dealing with those who are unable to use the internet without harming others emotionally, financially, sexually etc.

Mr Thomas last spoke about the social media offences of harrassment, trolling etc last March.
