Silencing Voices in Social Media and Forums

Online harassment significantly impacts women in the tech world by deterring them from expressing their opinions on social media and forums. This silencing effect is a direct result of threats, sexist remarks, and vitriolic criticisms faced disproportionately by women, leading to their withdrawal from online conversations to avoid further abuse. This not only limits their freedom of expression but also diminishes their visibility and influence in these digital spaces.
