Communication on social networks, on private or group messaging, sometimes induces forms of violence linked to gender and sexuality: sexist insults, assaults linked to sex, sexual orientation, gender identity in particular. Cyberstalking or cyberviolence is one of the most widespread forms of gender, sexist and sexual violence.
