Dare @easyJet your "benefit" of being able to change flights 24 hrs after purchase isn't much of a benefit when it's £25 to fix a genuine error 5 minutes after booking.

@CIBCFCIBBB Why isn't it policy to notify customers when their cards are temporarily suspended due to suspected fraudulent transactions? I'd have appreciated the heads up before I attempt to make purchases I can't pay for.

@hellodaylio I've been using Daylio for about 3 months now and I think it's awesome! Any plans to add add a web app? Sometimes I want to make longer notes and it would be so much easier from my PC.

@takebackthetech @GlitchUK_ @CAnderson_UK @EverydaySexism @doublebeewhy @nighatdad @ginamartin_uk @schemaly @SandraPepera @SnazzyAzzy @Aliceskinner @IjeomaOluo This can be very dependent on the individual laws. In some countries laws are VERY specific about what constitutes harassment and were written b4 the Internet became ubiquitous. Meaning they don't apply to OGBV in some cases #FixTheGlitch

Q5: Something harder to do: Have the difficult conversations with the men we love. We have to tell them how harmful their behavior is TO US. We have to make them understand why simply not engaging in bad behavior is not enough. They also have to speak up #FixTheGlitch

@GlitchUK_ @ginamartin_uk @CAnderson_UK @EverydaySexism @doublebeewhy @nighatdad @schemaly @SandraPepera @SnazzyAzzy @Aliceskinner @IjeomaOluo Q5 Individually we have to call it out and not tolerate it from our peers. Lots of harassment happens not only because abusers will abuse but because they are seeking an audience and reinforcement from the like-minded #FixTheGlitch

So much THIS!!!

@GlitchUK_ @CAnderson_UK @EverydaySexism @doublebeewhy @nighatdad @ginamartin_uk @SandraPepera @SnazzyAzzy @Aliceskinner @IjeomaOluo Q4: An important first step is showing a genuine commitment to preventing and addressing off-line VAW, whichbwoyld alter the parameters for how tech-enabled abuse is thought about and dealt with. Rape, domestic violence, stalking are still downgraded as crimes #FixTheGlitch

[Ashell Forde @AshellForde]

@ZayZee00 I honestly believe this requires specialized units/personnel within police forces. You are not going to convince an officer who investigates murders that online harassment is equally important. #FixTheGlitch

[Ashell Forde @AshellForde]

@alessiatranches @lisa_sugiura @GenderPolicyIns And this is a key issue. We can't achieve gender equality without male allies. Women cannot change the behavior of men who don't consider women to be people. Only men can to that. #FixTheGlitch

@GlitchUK_ @CAnderson_UK @EverydaySexism @doublebeewhy @nighatdad @ginamartin_uk @schemaly @SandraPepera @SnazzyAzzy @Aliceskinner @IjeomaOluo Q4 In the c'bean for sure we need legislation to follow the times more closely. It takes too long to amend or get new laws. The legal community also needs to understand the way technology works! #FixTheGlitch

[Ashell Forde @AshellForde]

@lisa_sugiura @GenderPolicyIns Not just women! When our male allies call out bad behavior they are often themselves harassed. This has the effect of silencing other men who disagree with such behavior but become fearful of calling it out. #FixTheGlitch

[Ashell Forde @AshellForde]

@GlitchUK_ @nighatdad @ginamartin_uk @CAnderson_UK @EverydaySexism @schemaly @SandraPepera @SnazzyAzzy @doublebeewhy @Aliceskinner Not just monetary costs but emotional and time as well. Successfully prosecuting cases of revenge porn and cyber harassment can take years. Victims often choose not to continue for their own mental well-being. #FixTheGlitch

[Ashell Forde @AshellForde]

@lisa_sugiura @GlitchUK_ @ginamartin_uk @CAnderson_UK @EverydaySexism @nighatdad @schemaly @SandraPepera @SnazzyAzzy @doublebeewhy @Aliceskinner That's an excellent observation re: policing of women's behavior both online and off #FixTheGlitch

[Ashell Forde @AshellForde]

@GlitchUK_ @ginamartin_uk @CAnderson_UK @EverydaySexism @nighatdad @schemaly @SandraPepera @SnazzyAzzy @doublebeewhy @Aliceskinner Q2: It definitely has the impact of silencing marginalized communities online. Often victims of online abuse with try to remove any online presence to avoid abuse. But behavior like doxxing means that threats can quickly become real and physical. #FixTheGlitch
