Hate Speech and Cyberbullying Detection

Many Internet researchers state that computer networks provide an egalitarian forum where users are not labeled by gender, race, age, national origin or disability. This assertion ignores the experiences of many women using electronic communication systems. Focusses on several legal issues of special relevance to women, including pornography and hate speech, stalking and sexual harassment, and exclusionary practices. Suggests that the conceptual models used in this research and Internet work may help to determine future legal practices.
