Given the amount of attacks I’m seeing online, I’d like to help folks who are just getting more audience prep for attack. When I first started to get more of an audience that came with white supremacists attacks, I looked everywhere and had a hard time finding best practices.

please don't do this
being relevant and timely as a brand is hard but let's not make actual ppls lives harder in the process
even if they are "famous"
The danger of social media marketing where brands take on “personalities” and comment on the latest trends is that these brands keep instigating and piling on to harassment campaigns.
