#Troll expert @GingerGorman on the pattern of police after mass shootings saying “We had no idea, he wasn’t on a watch list” despite supremacist boards on 8chan inspiring the likes of #Christchurch. “I’m not tech-y and I could find this stuff - why couldn’t the police?” #nwf19 
Murder as a product of online radicalisation is “an emergency” @GingerGorman says to @JaneCaro. “The internet is dangerous...and nobody is calling (social media companies) to account” #trolling #NWF19
There’s a stack of recommendations from a senate inquiry to strengthen Australian laws to crack down on cyber hate and harassment, and “they’re just sitting there” @GingerGorman says. #NWF19
People fearing for their safety from online harassment go to police only to be told “‘stay off the Internet, love’ - which is ludcrous because the United Nations has recognised internet access as a human right.” @GingerGorman #trollhunting #NWF19
1.3 million Australians have been trolled online at a predatory - ie physically dangerous or threatening - level @GingerGorman #NWF19
Some serious “radical empathy” from @GingerGorman - who chatted to an incel over a year, until he thanked her, announcing he was no longer an incel and “no longer hated women”. “This kind of hate cannot survive alongside basic human kindness.” #NWF19
It’s not the internet that makes people aggressive, @GingerGorman says - hatred and bad attitudes exist in our community, “in our boardrooms and our bedrooms. That’s how they get on the internet.” #NWF19
Predator #trolls are at school. “They’re ten and eleven. There’s a crucial intervention point there...We need to talk to our little boys.” @GingerGorman #NWF19
