Hoi,
This is a technical approach to a psychological / sociological problem. I
am not in the business of whack a mole but there are a few things to
consider. As far as I know there is not much in this that is supported by
good sociological or psychological understanding. To the best of my

Hi all,
A number of staff and volunteers have been talking about community health
for some time now, and I think it’s a point most can agree with that
technical improvements alone don’t represent a comprehensive approach to

Oh, that's a really good point. For the product analyst job, we're hoping
to hire someone who's already done research on online harassment, and can

Do I understand correctly that this particular initiative will focus on

Hello,
First, I am of course very happy about the attention and support from Mr.
Newmark.
But I am wondering about the special focus to "tools"; harassment is a
problem on the social level, not the technical one. Also, after all those
