Victims of online attacks are blamed while perpetrators & law enforcement fail to grasp how serious this is. DSA yes, but what about the business model? What keeps people engaged are things that are outrageous & this drives economic interests of big tech. tinyurl.com/nt9tv2xy
Why women politicians face more online hate
