The locations of digital violence are diverse: social networks, messenger apps, chat rooms, gaming platforms or the email inbox are just some of them.<\/p>\n<h3>Analogue and digital violence<\/h3>\n<p>Digital violence is <strong>often linked to analogue violence<\/strong>. Sometimes analogue violence spills over into the digital space. For example, when anti-Semitic attitudes towards Jews are not only spread at the proverbial regulars&#8217; table, but also reach an audience of millions on social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>In other cases, digital violence becomes an analogue danger: threats that initially land in your email inbox can quickly lead to harassment and physical attacks on your own doorstep. Whether online or on the streets, <strong>violent attacks trigger fear, shame or anger in many of those affected<\/strong>. Unlike analogue violence, digital violence often happens around the clock in front of a huge audience. Perpetrators can act anonymously and plan targeted attacks.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row rtl_reverse=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_content_width=&#8221;grid&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1686224162401{margin-bottom: 80px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;background-color: #4ee1a8 !important;}&#8221; simple_background_color=&#8221;#4ee1a8&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;]<h3 class=\"edgtf-custom-font-holder  edgtf-cf-4804  \"  data-item-class=\"edgtf-cf-4804\">\n\tOnline hate concerns us all<\/h3>[vc_column_text]<strong>Digital violence is a threat to us as a society as a whole<\/strong>. This is because online hate reinforces social discrimination and oppression by strategically ousting some people and opinions from platforms. The German government is currently discussing a new law against digital violence, which aims to strengthen human rights in the digital space.<\/p>\n<p>This is important because the internet is also an opportunity to strengthen participation and democracy: People can network more easily. Access to knowledge and networks is low-threshold, which strengthens participation and global activism.
