This post examines technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) as a systemic phenomenon and maps the main EU legal instruments available to address it—including the AI Act, the GDPR, the Directive on combating violence against women and domestic violence, and the DSA. It argues that while the DSA’s systemic risk framework is particularly well suited to tackling the structural drivers of TFGBV, its promise has yet to be realised in practice through implementation and enforcement.
