Overview
- Carolin Kebekus said she is "positively surprised" by how many men are engaging with reports of digital abuse and urged them to take women's anger seriously.
- She said men in her circle are asking what they can change and are starting to discuss structural causes that keep some women in toxic relationships.
- The discussion grew after Collien Fernandes alleged that ex-partner Christian Ulmen created fake profiles in her name to share pornographic content, a claim first reported by Der Spiegel.
- Ulmen remains presumed innocent, and his lawyer Christian Schertz said he plans to challenge the magazine's initial reporting in court.
- In this context, digital violence means online impersonation and the non-consensual spread of sexual images, which can harm a person's safety, privacy, and livelihood.
