It would have been nice to get this thorough of a response when women of color like me, @karnythia @Blackamazon and others were begging you FOUR YEARS AGO to do something about the harassment and abuse we face on a regular basis.

it was well documented. We said all the things. You rarely listen to our voices. You weren't listening in 2013, 2014 & even in 2015. https://twitter.com/digitalsista/status/988084938137317376 … there are receipts!! Jack.

But somehow now you are asking a reporter for how to help? But all of our suggestions aren't important? We've talked about it when you make mistakes like in this thread.https://twitter.com/LeslieMac/status/831508266949689344 …

My take on why Maggie gets special treatment: She isn’t objecting to things
@jack doesn’t want to change.https://twitter.com/miri_iron/status/1020797964795744256?s=21 …

I actually agree with this take. I've had many challenges about the way this "expert" or elitism framework happens here. I'm not verified I don't plan to be but I've been the tech & political (DC) since 1999. I don't need an outside entity to validate who I am.

I legit did it mostly because we found multiple fake accounts of me from 2013

I want to pin this point Sydette. This is when
#YourSlipIsShowing was going on. So I'm not surprised. - End of conversation

I've reported harassment (threats of rape, assault, etc) on
@Twitter and received nothing but a "you should probably just block them." And that's nothing compared to what WOC like Imani face. She doesn't even get an apology for the platform's oversight? You can't feign ignorance. -
Then again this is also the platform that verifies white supremacists and legitimizes their nonsense so I'm not entirely sure why I'm surprised you're concerned with Maggie's harassment versus Imani's.

Do you think maybe you SHOULD have seen it in 2014? That was the year of gamergate, and you didn't *see* that people (especially women, and especially women of color) were screaming for help to deal with the harassment that your policies and your platform enabled and empowered?
