      “To weed out abusive tweets targeted at female journalists, activists and politicians,” but ‘militias’ unnerve me, tbh. Then again, the fascists have already been mass-reporting anarchist/leftist accounts in recent yrs (and ofc targeting women)https://twitter.com/writesrights/status/981858131259961344 …

      Maybe instead of/in addition to a troll patrol, Amnesty could document cases of progressive users wrongfully suspended (possibly due to mass reporting by fascists). It’s more in line w @amnesty’s original mission (cc @WritesRights)

          Appreciate the suggestion @asteris. The project just launched is quite targeted to focus on tackling online abuse of women b/c it builds on 16 months of qualitative & quantitative research into this topic. See:https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/research/2018/03/online-violence-against-women-chapter-1/ …

          Online violence and abuse is of course experienced by Internet users of all genders. But the premise behind our research was that women’s experiences online often mirror the discrimination, sexism and violence that they experience offline. Our findings bore that out.

          Ofc they are, nobody is disputing that. But they’re also censored as often, as @sunnysingh_n6 pointed out.

          Exactly as @asteris said. Wish your report had been more intersectional. I have written about this for years as have other women (eg WMC) and unless other intersections are taken into acc, it will lead to more harm, this time by proposed solutions

          Thanks for the feedback. Intersectionality was definitely factored into the research, but glad to hear how you think this could be bolstered. This piece by @SnazzyAzzy gets to the core of that http://www.gal-dem.com/a-woc-guide-to-using-twitter-without-being-trolled/ …

          Chapter 2 of the report also addresses how online abuse of women targets their intersecting identitieshttps://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/research/2018/03/online-violence-against-women-chapter-2/#topanchor …

          Thanks Conor! As a woman of colour doing this research, looking at it without an intersectional lens just wasn’t an option. Hopefully folks will see that when they read the research and see how the experiences of women of colour, LBTI women, etc., were front & center of project.

          Exactly. Because given how tech works, we know exactly who will be on those troll patrols and who they will act against

          Super interesting conversation! One of the goals with Troll Patrol is to see who gets more abuse - we are monitoring mentions of 1,000 women politicians and journalists representing both conservative and liberal causes.

          What range of humans comprise your troll patrol? Including those involved in construction/coding of non-human elements

          You mean who was behind building the platform? I am leading a team of developers, designers and data scientists and the concept and research questions were designed by Amnesty.

          In terms of participation, we are promoting the platform though our social media channels and via Amnesty sections all over the world. These projects work best with a diverse group of people participating.

          Apologies if I am sceptical of the institutonal speak. I asked abput the range of people involved in. Surely easy enough to point to the team working on this?

          Fair enough. Have you participated? So far we have over 1,500 people from all corners of the world participating. Together they analysed over 50,000 tweets already. They all learned about the project though Amnesty's promotional activities. Hope that answers your question
