We need you to track toxic online abuse right now!

Join the Troll Patrol Join Now › Dear friends, Twitter’s failure to enforce its own policies against violence and abuse is negatively impacting women’s right to freely express themselves online without discrimination and fear. For many, the inability to use Twitter freely and without fear means being prevented from engaging meaningfully in public debates and discussions online because it has become that vital a tool in their professional and personal life. Businesses like Twitter have a duty to respect human rights in its operations. Women—and all people—have a right to live free from violence. Join the Troll Patrol today and help us track online abuse on Twitter. While Twitter says it’s trying to tackle online abuse, it just isn’t doing enough. It won’t tell us how much abuse women report on Twitter, nor will it say how it responds to those reports. If Twitter doesn’t measure this problem, how can we help fix it? The effects of online violence and abuse are very real. In addition to silencing women’s voices, online violence and abuse can also have a worrying psychological impact on women who experience such abuse. Women and girls have the right to express themselves equally, freely and without fear. Join our Troll Patrol now an decode abusive tweets to that we can track online abuse on Twitter. Instead of Twitter protecting women’s voices, the violence and abuse women experience on the platform means that women are self-censoring what they post, limiting their interactions, or being driven off Twitter completely to their personal and professional detriment. Violence against women in any form is just not right. You can do something about it Luc — by helping us flag abusive tweets on the Troll Patrol. It only takes 30 seconds to detect rampant online abuse. Do it now.
