Abstract: This thematic issue examines the complex and current intersection between violence, hate speech, and gender bias in digital environments. It explores how digital spaces (encompassing social networks, news platforms, and online multiplayer games) can both perpetuate and challenge systemic inequalities. Contributions present diverse methodologies, including longitudinal analyses, qualitative studies, and systematic reviews, to uncover the mechanisms underlying digital violence and exclusion. This issue highlights the urgency of addressing digital exclusion to safeguard democratic values and social cohesion. It aims to inspire new research and inform policies that build more inclusive and equitable digital environments, laying the groundwork for future social science research and practice.
