Text with an illustration of eyes looking sideways: “The perpetrators are well aware of the effects on women. Their aim is to discredit, discourage and silence women, to “frame them as untrustworthy, unintelligent, emotional/angry/crazy, or sexual.” - Marie Lamnech (Centre for International Governance Innovation)
Newer technologies mean newer ways of expressing the same old hierarchies.

CDT and the Ford Institute for Human Security's new report on #OnlineGBV – “Hated More” – summarized in Tech Policy Press: “Our results suggest that overall there is a gender gap in the proportion of posts containing offensive speech and hate speech targeting candidates.” www.techpolicy.press...
Meta must grant researchers access to data on #deepfakes, gendered #disinformation & #onlineGBV to study their impact, especially on marginalized groups like women of color in the U.S. & minority women in India. Annual risk assessments as per EU rules are key.
The law sets minimum standards for the criminalisation of certain forms of gender-based violence (GBV), including #OnlineGBV, that all EU Member States will need to transpose into national law.
