Digital harms: Consistency in definition, understanding and action

Le résumé fourni par la source

This paper examines the scale of digital harm, explains why current responses fall short and proposes reframing harm through a shared, multi‑sector, internationally relevant taxonomy. It argues such a framework is essential for effective reform and offers recommendations for governments, platforms, researchers and civil society to guide coordinated action and strengthen accountability across the digital ecosystem. Digital harms include abuse, harassment, bullying, hate speech, disinformation, doxxing, image-based abuse, deepfakes, illicit promotion of harmful productions, scams and other adversarial practices.Recommendations1. Develop a shared global taxonomy of digital harms. 2. Ground definitions in injury and ecological harm. 3. Use the taxonomy to drive prevention and education. 4. Address the inter-platform and interjurisdictional reality of harm.
