Survey: two-thirds of women change online behaviour over digital violence fears

Original: Aus Angst vor digitaler Gewalt verändern zwei Drittel der Frauen ihr Verhalten im Internet, besonders betroffen sind jun

A new survey finds that two-thirds of women alter how they behave on the internet out of fear of digital violence, with young women disproportionately affected. The findings point to self-censorship and avoidance of certain platforms, topics or interactions. Commenters are highlighting how widespread online harassment shapes women's everyday internet use and are calling for stronger protections.

Why now: Fresh survey data quantifying how fear of online abuse restricts women's internet use has drawn wide attention.
