I am not speaking for @ellievhall but only for myself. I am incredibly disappointed with @TwitterSafety and the folks at Twitter. After we published the report, the targeted harassment against Ellie and me increased.
So much so that journalists are reaching out to me with legitimate safety concerns for me and my family. There are accounts openly bragging about spamming private information and photos of my family.
They have tweeted Google maps images, and are actively targeting us in plain sight for everyone to see. Everything outlined in the report is now happening to us, and yet Twitter wants to claim there is “no widespread coordination.”
So I guess a bunch of people spontaneously decided to dox me and spam the same information and photos. If someone was doing this to @jack or another employee at Twitter, the folks at Twitter would put a stop to this illegal activity immediately.
There is a significant difference between a group of people criticizing someone and a group of people coordinating their efforts to defame and terrorize someone.

When we work with journalists and publish a report, we give journalists tons of data that we can’t make public for legal reasons. For this report, I also gave @ellievhall exclusive access to documents and communications relevant to this reporting...

Toxic trolls don’t understand that I didn’t drop in out of nowhere. When they were on AOL waiting for emails from Nana, I was coding algorithms to help protect documents. I invented a new method of steganography, and Avanquest acquired my technology...

When I launched Bot Sentinel in 2018, one of the first groups to use my technology was journalists. So from the start, I have been here trying to protect the most vulnerable from toxic trolls. Journalists, scientists, academia, and countless others use our tools and data...

In our recent report, we listed 81 accounts we believe are part of a coordinated hate campaign, and one account, in particular, is still active despite knowingly violating Twitter's rules. But what makes matters worse is Twitter sent us an email highlighting this hate account... ImageImage
So let's examine why this hate account was accused of coordinating attacks and why Twitter should suspend the account. Here you can see the account tweeting to her followers about spamming my timeline with fake tweets and acknowledging she might be suspended soon for doing it... ImageImageImage
Here she encourages her followers to report me with false allegations, and she gives them step-by-step instructions on how to do it. In another tweet, she encourages her followers to "share share share" the fake tweets she bragged about spamming in my timeline... ImageImageImage

Targeted harassment by single-purpose hate accounts is a problem we must tackle. I am happy to announce we have launched the Bot Sentinel Hate Tracker tool: botsentinel.com/trackers/hate-…

Hate accounts have been operating with impunity for far too long, and that begins to stop today.
We are currently tracking accounts targeting Meghan and Harry, Duke and Duchess of Sussex. However, after a few days of testing, we will add additional notable figures and organizations under attack. The database updates every few hours, and more accounts will be added soon.
We will enable the ability to export the list of accounts to a CSV file after tweaking a few things. If these accounts want to organize and attack others, they will be monitored by over 100,000 Bot Sentinel users while doing it. There is no more hiding in plain sight.

Earlier this month, I announced Bot Sentinel would look into what appeared to be a coordinated hate campaign targeting Meghan and Harry, Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
On Tuesday, we released a report outlining a coordinated hate campaign targeting Meghan and Harry, and we listed the accounts behind the campaign.

You can review the report here:

Shortly after announcing our investigation into the suspicious activity, the hate accounts named in the report attacked my deceased mother, shared screenshots of fake tweets from my “daughter,” published my private information, and recently tweeted confidential documents.

This is from Twitter: "At this time, there's no evidence of widespread coordination, the use of multiple accounts by single people..."

Oh? Here are two accounts operated by the same person used to attack Meghan and Harry. Both are still active.

theduchessofnarsussex.com/harrys-wife
The woman who operates the duchofnarsussex and OSS_SOE_21 accounts was previously suspended by Twitter. We also suspect she operates a 3rd account (Queen_Leinster) used to attack Meghan and Harry, and amplify the duchofnarsussex account.
Here is an account admitting she opened a new account specifically to target Meghan and Harry, but she claims she has been on Twitter since 2012.

So how can Twitter claim "no use of multiple accounts by single people" when we have proof contradicting their statement.

It took us 150 hours to analyze and review the tweets, retweets, mentions, and friend/follower connections outlined in the report. We painstakingly examined everything because we knew other researchers and members of the media would scrutinize our work.
washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
We used precise language in the report, and we released the list of accounts so there would be no doubt of our findings. For example, a woman Twitter previously suspended operates the duchofnarsussex and OSS_SOE_21 accounts, and we suspect the Queen_Leinster account as well.
Immediately after we published the report, the owners of Twelve accounts on the list either deactivated their accounts or protected their tweets. The accounts in question used the same avoidance tactics outlined in our report.
