Original: Digitale Gewalt im Netz: Mehrheit der Frauen schränkt Verhalten im Internet ein Aus Angst vor digitaler Gewalt verändern
A new survey finds that around two-thirds of women in Germany change how they behave online out of fear of digital violence, with young women particularly affected. The findings point to widespread self-censorship on the internet, from holding back opinions to avoiding certain platforms. Commentators highlight the scale of online harassment against women and renewed calls for stronger protection measures.
Why now: The survey's finding that most women limit their internet use due to fear of digital violence has struck a chord in current debates about online safety.
