• 85 per cent of women have experienced cyberviolence, according to a major study.
• Key figures in the movement include Andrew Tate, whose content has billions of views.
• Weakened platform moderation on sites like X and Meta has contributed to the unchecked spread of hate speech and disinformation, undermining efforts to combat online violence against women.
