The fuck is digital violence?
Read the article to get more info.
Hate sure. Violence? Really?
Hate isn't violence hate is a byproduct of free speech and liberty. I mean getting doxed and actionable calls/threats of violence should be a crime. But mean words is just life.
Mean words online by people who don’t even dare lift their voices in public.
Ahh yes free speech
people are using stronger words to mean things that are related. Shouting at someone is violence now, inapproprite touching (sexual assult/harrasment) is rape, being an asshole online is digitial violence.
It really devalues the meaning of the words and makes it harder for people to take real accusations seriously. I once read an article of someone claiming they had been sexually assaulted on WoWs text chat. Like what the fuck, mute them, report them, move on. You can call it harrasment if you like but there’s nothing sexual about it, it’s letters on a monitor.
depends what they're saying, it can be sexual harrassment, but not sexual assult.
