New research on technology-facilitated abuse and cyber hate in Australia
Check out this new study looking at technology-facilitated abuse and cyber hate in Australia.
Survey data was collected in a sample of 4,562 adult Australians.
Some of the key findings are:
- One in four respondents (23%) reported having engaged in technology-facilitated abuse at least once in their lifetimes
- One in two (51%) respondents reported having experienced at least one abusive behaviour in their lifetime
- Cyber hate in form of emotional abuse and threats of harm (31%) and harassment (27%) were very common in the sample
There is a strong need for education and victim support in this space.
