A new survey in Germany finds that two thirds of women change how they behave online out of fear of digital violence, with young women especially affected. The majority reported restricting their internet use in some way. Commentators say the findings underline how widespread online harassment and abuse have become, and how their effects reach well beyond the screen into women's everyday participation in digital life.
Why now: Fresh survey data showing the scale of digital violence against women and its chilling effect on their internet use.
