The examples included here are horrible. Not just the sex-shaming, but that too.

I'm far from convinced that a social media ban is the answer, but the comment is still well worth reading - especially by men.

I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day

Objectification, hate, rape threats: the politicians debating online abuse mean well, but to truly understand, they need to see what I see

@neil Yeah, only adult women should be subjected to the vile misogyny. 🧐🥴

(It's a problem, no argument; I fail to see how isolating minors from communities they can find online is necessarily the answer, though.)

@jima @neil
Which communities? The "friends" are not friends most of the time, they are digital relations, they ignore you as soon as the conversation is finished.
If you want to be part of communitie, join a group in real life, with people taking care of each other, where real interaction with body language is much more rich than a digital one.

@PjpB @jima @neil that’s quite ableist of an outlook you have there. Not that you’ll care, you’ll forget about me as soon as you put your phone down it seems.
