What are the immediate impacts of the normalization of verbal violence in French society, based on recent data?

The French Economic, Social, and Environmental Council (CESE) has warned about the normalization of verbal violence in public spaces, including schools, workplaces, and social media. A 16% increase in hateful speech online was reported in 2024, impacting employees in media, sports, and video games. This verbal violence, even seemingly innocuous comments, creates emotional burdens and can lead to more serious incidents.
