​​​This talk introduces “permaviolence” – a concept describing the unprecedented ubiquity of harm in contemporary society mediated by digital technology. Permaviolence operates through dual mechanisms: “onboarding violence,” whereby algorithms and digital media normalise violent content through constant exposure; and “outsourcing violence,” where emerging technologies democratise access to harmful tools.
