Digital Rights, Technology and Online Gender-Based Violence
Raquel De Haro and Mariana Valente
We will delve into the world of Online Gender-Based Violence (OGBV), exploring its many forms, from non-consensual imagery and deepfakes to doxxing and harassment. The workshop will uncover gender biases embedded in content moderation and critically examine how digital regulations, particularly the Digital Services Act, often fail to address these issues. We will also explore how companies are better equipped to enforce copyright violations online but fail to do so for other illegal content related to gender equality, and the consequences of this discrepancy for online safety.
