Abstract

Via social networks, instant messengers and dating portals, users can easily and quickly get in touch with other people or make their opinions known. In the last few years, digital forms of imposed sexuality and sexualised harassment have increasingly emerged, which are not only, but also directed against minors or can in any case be viewed by them. The article gives an overview of the manifestations and classifies them legally.
