The ideal of an inclusive and participatory Internet has been
undermined by the rise of misogynistic abuse on social media
platforms. However, limited progress has been made at national -
and to an extent European - levels in addressing this issue. In
England and Wales, the tackling of underlying causes of online
abuse has been overlooked because the law focuses on punishment
rather than measures to prevent such abuses. Furthermore, online
abuse has a significant impact on its victims that is
underestimated by policymakers. This volume critically analyses the
legal provisions that are currently deployed to tackle forms of
online misogyny, and focuses on three aspects; firstly, the
phenomenon of social media abuse; secondly, the poor and disparate
legal responses to social media abuses; and thirdly, the similar
failings of hate crime to tackle problems of online gender-based
abuses. This book advances a compelling argument for legal changes
to the existing hate crime, and communications legislation.
