Big Tech Commits to Women’s Safety
سطح پیشرفته
Big Tech has teamed together to announce their commitments to increased women’s safety on their platforms. Google, which owns Youtube, Facebook which owns Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok have publicized their cross-platform collaboration to combat online harassment. The non-profit organization, the Web Foundation, works with the companies to provide enhanced controls and strengthened systems for reporting abuse and safeguarding women.
A 2020 Economist study, found that 38% of women globally have experienced direct online abuse. They also found that 85% of women witnessed online violence against other women. These acts of violence include threats of physical or sexual violence, harmful comments on physical appearance, doxing, misogynistic comments, and sexual harassment.
Only time will tell if the companies are working adamantly and advantageously to support women’s safety and if they’re not, I’m sure that the younger generations will deviate from the norms of the past to phase out companies working against their interests and support platforms that support them. It’s only a matter of time.

We will soon see if these companies will keep their promise to support women's safety. If they do not, I am sure the young people will leave their platforms and join other applications which support them.
