WASHINGTON - U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris will inaugurate a task force on Thursday to curb online harassment, fulfilling one of the Biden campaign's promises in the wake of a mass shooting that highlights a link between online abuse and violence.

The task force will be co-chaired by the White House Gender Policy Council and National Security Council, according to senior administration officials who previewed the announcement in a call on Wednesday evening.

"It's imperative that we commit to better understanding and addressing the nexus between online misogyny and radicalization to violence," a senior administration official said.

One in three women under the age of 35 and over half of LGBT people in the United States report experiencing sexual harassment and stalking online, according to the White House.

From the article: ...the nexus between online misogyny and radicalization to violence...

Add in misandry too.

A misogynist is someone who hates women as much as they hate each other.

Well, she “fixed” the border.
She “fixed” international relations.
And it was a fix election.

Online harassment is a real and terrible thing. But I’ll bet you a dollar Harris will use this as an excuse to expand whole the “hate speech / hate crime” concept.

If you’re not agreeing with the latest in PC thought, you’re committing a hate crime.

All I heard was “Commie, blah, blah, blah…” she’d sound more intelligent with her mouth full.

“”Finish? She hasn’t STARTED most of her assigned tasks.””

True - a useless/worthless human being among many!

Fair point. Unfortunately, online harassers target the weak and vulnerable.

I’m an old guy. Call me “ugly”, and I’ll agree with you. Call me that twice, and I’ll agree with you twice. But the same word thrown at a vulnerable girl can really mess up her mind. I saw some of that as a high school teacher.

But Harris and company seem to be approaching this as if it were a criminal act. Unless overt threats of violence are involved, it’s not. It’s something that must be addressed at home.

The good news is that if she’s as effective at this as she was in solving the border crisis, then nothing will actually be done.

Swell another task force/waste of taxpayers $$. The fbi and law enforcement were already aware of postings and of the people invovled,in many of the shootings. They IGNORED the evidence!
