Digital Violence is an escalating global phenomenon, with easy access individuals of all ages have to social media and technology. The online space available for people to seek knowledge – or even for entertainment – has slowly transformed from a traditional safe space for expression to a means of violence and abuse targeting random unknown or well-known people. The appeal of being anonymous online caters to the ego of perpetrators, causing them to harass others as a means of appeasement to their misogynistic inclinations, psychological problems, childhood trauma or many other causes that lead them to seek revenge from others they know or do not know online.
