Instagram is not women-first about this, they’re not safety-first about anything. Like with women being gang raped on the Metaverse, everything about it is a cesspool for us.” - Jamie Klingler #HiddenHate #IStandwithAmberHeard

"Online misogyny, made easy by platforms’ functionality, has offline impacts in normalizing gender-based violence and harassment." - Imran Ahmed

"The galling thing is Instagram is pretending to care and it’s clear there’s no financial incentive for them to do it and nobody can see it, so they can get away with not putting any money in and not protecting people from this kind of material.” - Rachel Riley #HiddenHate

"The amount of people who might be in a similar situation to what I was back in 2015 who look at what has happened to me and decide to not act in the interests of their safety, or their voice is scary to think about.” Amber Heard #IStandwithAmberHeard #HiddenHate
