Geneva: World Economic Forum (2023), 16 pp.
"The Typology of Online Harms provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and categorizing various types of online harm through a human rights lens [...] This typology recognizes the complex nature of online safety, by classifying the threats into content, contact and conduct risks. Online harms can occur throughout the production, distribution and consumption of content (content) but can also arise as a result of online interactions with others (contact) and through behaviour facilitated by technology (conduct)."
