Week 10: Unveiling the Impact of Online Harassment: Impeding Women's Digital Participation and Citizenship

Online harassment is offensive behavior directed at others through technology channels, such as the internet or text messaging, which can cause harm unintentionally or otherwise (Haslop et al., 2021, p. 1420). Female and transgender individuals are more likely to face online harassment than men Haslop et al., 2021, p. 1413). Harassment towards feminists and female public figures often originates from the manosphere, an online network of pickup artists, men's rights activists, anti-feminists, and fringe groups (Marwick & Caplan, 2018). It is often coordinated and organized, rather than just individual actions (Marwick & Caplan, 2018). For example, female journalist Siobhan Fenton was abused online when she appeared in a video of The Independent on X, receiving hundreds of negative comments, and a blogger on Tumblr who was trolled by a male from the manosphere for sharing information about safe abortion.

Figure 1. An anti-abortion comment from the manosphere aimed at a feminist female blogger.

Online harassment is pervasive in digital spaces, leading some young women to tolerate offensive and abusive communications (Smith, 2018). Young women perceive such communications to be relatively acceptable and the 'norm' (Haslop et al., 2021, p. 1413). They often use silencing strategies like blocking, reporting, and limiting participation, self-censorship as  means of protection (Haslop et al., 2021, p. 1413). In the case of Siobhan Fenton, she silently suffered without reporting it to X because she knew this often happened to her colleagues and reporting was ineffective. Online harassment hinders women's online participation and citizenship, leading to gendered digital divides (Vitis & Gilmour, 2016, p. 337). It negatively impacts victims' motivation to use and engage with digitized spaces, leading to women excluding themselves from online spaces (Haslop et al., 2021, p. 1412).

Regarding digital citizenship, which allows internet users to participate without fear (Thompson, 2023), is threatened by online harassment (Vitis & Gilmour, 2016, p. 337). Online harassment also leads to offline violence and contributes to mental health issues, as it makes women feel unsafe in online spaces (Vitis & Gilmour, 2016, p. 337). Kelly Sue DeConnick, a comics writer, criticized sexism in the industry, highlighting the potential harm of online harassment on her family due to anxiety or fear of being blamed for speaking up (Amnesty International, 2018). Therefore, addressing online harassment is crucial for promoting digital citizenship and reducing gender disparities.

What can be done? 

In Vietnam, the Law on Cyber Security provides protection against cyberbullying and harmful online content, with ministries responsible for ensuring online safety and removing inappropriate material (Vietnam Law and Legal Forum, 2023). Additionally, some women employ humor and social media platforms as a means of engaging, resisting, and responding to harassment (Vitis & Gilmour, 2016). Projects like Instagranniepants (Figure 3) and Gensler's critical witnessing utilize satire and shame, aiming to give harassers a taste of their own medicine through unflattering portraits (Vitis & Gilmour, 2016).

https://tcrn.ch/3XwcBNQ - 🔒 A data leak at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has resulted in the inadvertent exposure of about 61,000 filers' private domicile addresses. The addresses appeared in public records between February 2020 and March 2023. #DataLeak #USPTO #CyberSecurity 🛠️ The issue was discovered in one of the USPTO's APIs, which is used by agency staff and filers to check the status of trademarks. The address data also appeared in bulk datasets published by the agency online for academic and economic research purposes. Upon discovery of the issue, non-critical API access was blocked, and the impacted bulk data products were taken offline until a permanent fix was implemented. #API #DataBreach #InfoSec 📬 USPTO spokesperson Paul Fucito stated that while domicile addresses are required by trademark law, they began voluntarily masking this information in 2020 as part of data security efforts. Unfortunately, some technical exit points were overlooked, resulting in the data leak. The USPTO apologized for the oversight and has committed to improve its data protection measures. #DataProtection #Privacy #CyberSecurity 🔍 The data leak affected about 3% of the total number of applications filed during the three-year period in question. The incident was resolved on April 1, 2023, when domicile addresses were masked, and the API vulnerabilities were corrected. Importantly, the agency has no reason to believe the leaked data has been misused.

What makes Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) crucial to enable in today's context?

In today's digital world, safeguarding your online accounts is more crucial than ever. 🌐😮 Hackers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making password-only protection insufficient to keep your data safe. That's where Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) comes to the rescue! 💪🛡️

What is MFA? MFA adds an extra layer of security to your login process, requiring multiple forms of verification before granting access to your accounts. It could be a combination of something you know (like a password), something you have (like a unique code sent to your phone), or something you are (like a fingerprint or facial recognition). 📱🔒

Don't wait for a cyber-attack to take action! Empower your digital defense with MFA today and stay one step ahead of cyber threats! 💻🔐

PSA. There’s someone going around pretending to arrange interviews for LFTV. If you’re ever in doubt whether someone is representing an organisation always get in touch with them through their website or official channels to verify. . #safety #modelsafety #latexfashiontv #scam #safeonline #safemodels #safemodels https://www.instagram.com/p/COIIXYfrFrm/?igshid=1mg4e4vuql5q6
