Australian girls being 'hunted' by online crime gangs to commit violent acts
Australian girls are being targeted by online crime networks to commit violent acts against themselves, siblings, or pets, in a disturbing trend described by police as a "twisted gamification." The Australian Federal Police have launched a taskforce to address this alarming form of gender-based violence. Several arrests have already been made in Australia and abroad, targeting individuals with violent extremist views seeking to harm others for enjoyment.
