Misogynie als Vektor der Radikalisierung

The report analyzes the link between misogyny and violent extremist ideologies, arguing that OGBV serves as an ideological gateway to radicalization. It evaluates the failures of current platform community guidelines and algorithmic systems in addressing gendered violence and proposes a 'Safety and Privacy by Design' approach, improved API access for researchers, and standardized transparency reporting to combat these systemic risks.

• Misogyny acts as an ideological link and a vector for various forms of violent extremism, including right-wing extremism and Islamist extremism, by enforcing patriarchal gender norms and hierarchies.
• The 'Manosphere'—a network of misogynistic communities including Incels, Men's Rights Activists (MRAs), and MGTOW—promotes male supremacy and often overlaps with white supremacy and other far-right ideologies.
• Online gender-based violence (OGBV) exists on a continuum that can lead to severe offline harms, including domestic violence, physical attacks on journalists, and terrorism.
• Current platform community guidelines and enforcement are insufficient; many platforms fail to address gendered disinformation or allow content that normalizes gender-based violence.
• Platform design, specifically 'dark patterns' and engagement-based ranking algorithms, can amplify misogynistic content and limit the agency of victims to report coordinated harassment.
• AI-based moderation tools, such as Google's Perspective API, may lack social context and can incorrectly flag LGBTQ+ language as toxic while failing to detect nuanced misogyny.
• The report recommends that platforms provide researchers with secure, real-time API access to public data to better understand the link between misogyny and violent extremism.
• Platforms should implement standardized transparency reports with gender-disaggregated data to allow for intersectional analysis of hate speech and policy enforcement.
• A 'Safety and Privacy by Design' approach is proposed, incorporating trauma-informed perspectives to empower users through proactive filters, better documentation tools, and escalating penalties for offenders.
• Cross-platform cooperation is essential because harassment campaigns are often coordinated across multiple services, including 'alternative' platforms like Telegram, which the report identifies as having the laxest guidelines.
