We’re excited that this report on cyber harassment is out and contributing to important conversations about tech + hate. Our researchers @allergyPhD and @jordanisme conducted ethnographic interviews and contributed to analysis and writing

Some top findings include [thread]:

[ADL @ADL]

Have you been harassed online?

Our data shows that at least 53% of American adults are affected by cyber harassment. Our new report, supported by @Bumble, sheds light on experiences of those targeted by cyberhate & harassment & how to fight this epidemic: https://t.co/1qqRc1bhYW

5. Social media platforms are not adequately designed to remove or efficiently review hateful content.

Most interviewees said that they did not receive meaningful or helpful responses to a majority of their abuse reports for weeks or months.
