Marin also said the recent findings support what women on Twitter have been saying all along. “Troll Patrol means we have the data to back up what women have long been telling us – that Twitter is a place where racism, misogyny and homophobia are allowed to flourish basically unchecked,” she said. While Twitter has banned some high-profile racists like “Unite the Right” rally founder, Gavin McInnes, and former Breitbart provocateur, Milo Yiannopoulos, they have yet to truly take the concerns of women of color seriously, as Amnesty International noted in its report. “Amnesty International has repeatedly asked Twitter to make available meaningful and comprehensive data regarding the scale and nature of abuse on their platform, as well as how they are addressing it,” the group said. “Such data will be invaluable for anyone seeking to understand and combat this barrier to women’s human rights online,” Amnesty International said. “In light of Twitter’s refusal to do so, it is our hope that this project will shed some insight into the scale of the problem.”Every 30 seconds, a woman is abused or harassed on #ToxicTwitter. The numbers say it all. https://t.co/CMN1WDfKqo 🕯 pic.twitter.com/brSR5efTdh
