More men than women get abused online

Stuff reports:

More Kiwi than say they've experienced some form of online harassment, research shows.

Research by digital security firm Norton showed 58 per cent men surveyed were harassed compared to 52 per cent of women.

However, Kiwi men (56 per cent) are less likely than women (70 per cent) to identify online harassment as a serious problem.

But both genders agree that the problem is getting worse, and both believe that the problem has deteriorated since last year.

It has got worse, sadly.
