Grateful to @MsMagazine for the opportunity to share our ideas about how social media platforms can give users greater control over what content they see & when, as one key strategy to reduce exposure to abusive content. Read our article here:

A report from PEN America and Consumer Reports urges tech companies to treat online abuse like spam, filtering harm before it reaches users.

None of this would have been possible without @craignewmark, who has supported both orgs & who was WAY ahead of the curve in realizing that online harassment was being deployed to silence journalists, writers, scholars, & others. Thank you, Craig!.
Great to share that two nonprofits I’ve supported are joining forces: @PENAmerica will integrate @onlinesosorg’s name, website, and digital safety tools into its online abuse defense programming—expanding access to critical resources. Read more:

Couldn't be prouder, more honored, or delighted that our trailblazing partner, Liz Lee, has entrusted us @PENamerica with the future of @onlinesosorg, the nonprofit she built to help people harassed online at a time when few others were taking the issue seriously. Thank you, Liz!.
🧵PEN America is excited to announce the acquisition of @onlinesosorg's name, website, and digital safety tools, an important advancement in our ongoing work to protect the free expression of writers, journalists, scholars, and librarians harassed online.
