===== Definition ===== 

Virtual segregation refers to the division or separation of individuals or groups within online or digital spaces based on factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, or other social identities. This can occur through the creation of separate online communities, forums, or social media groups that cater to specific demographics or interests, leading to limited interactions and exchanges between different groups. Virtual segregation can perpetuate inequalities and reinforce social divisions in online environments. It is important to promote inclusivity and diversity in virtual spaces to ensure equal access and opportunities for all individuals.
