Hello everyone! Today, I want to talk about a very important subject when it comes to violence via the Internet.
Are you familiar with the term "digital violence"?
Digital violence is any form of violence that occurs through technology. This can be violence on social networks (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter...), chat applications, gaming platforms, via mobile phones, or in any other way that involves the use of technology.
When it comes to digital violence, we can distinguish two basic categories:
1. VERBAL (threats, blackmail, insults, hate speech).
2. Violence caused by VISUAL RESOURCES (illegal photography and recording and publishing or editing of photos/videos).
For example, I will write some ways of digital violence: - Sharing private transcripts, photos, or videos with other users without permission - Inappropriate commenting on social networks - Various forms of insult - Disturbing videos or images - Threats and blackmail - Cyberbullying...
Do you recognize some of these forms of digital violence? ? ?
Each of these forms of digital violence can cause different consequences, so we can talk about psychological consequences, sexual consequences, violations of integrity, fear, anxiety, lack of concentration, insomnia, depression, isolation, and even suicide.
Do you know how to recognize digital violence? ? ?
Have you experienced any kind of digital violence? ? ?
It is very important to educate ourselves and the people around us about internet violence and provide a safe place for everyone on the Internet and in real life.
