During the talk, the speakers presented empirical results from several population-based studies on experiences of online harassment and hate speech in Norway. The experts focused on how the results differ within different population groups, with a particular emphasis on the gender dimension of online harassment between victim and perpetrator. In addition, they examined whether women experience online harassment more – and in different ways – than men. The presentation also focused on the potential of different types of online harassment to silence their victims and whether there are gender patterns within the phenomenon of online harassment as a silencing mechanism.
