This editorial calls for research into technology facilitated abuses that push the epistemic and ontological boundaries of gender and technology in IS research. Specifically, it focuses on sextortion in the digital age—a pressing societal challenge that undermines gender equality—analyzing how technology both enables and holds the potential to mitigate this form of corruption. Addressing sextortion and other forms of gender-based exploitation requires rethinking how digital technologies are conceptualized, designed, and implemented. This editorial urges scholars to move beyond critique and explore innovative frameworks that prioritize inclusivity, social justice, and participatory design.
