“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 …

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.
