An important thing to remember when you see hashtags like #GoHomeMeghanMarkle trending:

A concentrated set of fewer than 100 users drive 70% of the hate content targeting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on Twitter. buzzfeednews.com/article/elliev…
(Although in this case it looks like pro-Sussex people have taken over the hashtag to get it trending. Still worth noting!)
Here's a link to the @BotSentinel report. The company analyzed 100k+ tweets: botsentinel.com/reports/docume…
There is. @BotSentinel has continued to monitor single-purpose hate accounts targeting the Sussexes since this first report's publication: botsentinel.com/trackers/hate-…

Question: has there ever been a situation where Harry and Meghan fans / the Sussex Squad swarmed to leave nasty and negative comments on the social media pages of charities associated with the Cambridges?

(I'm serious + asking in good faith, I cannot remember it ever happening.)
I'm obviously asking in light of @WellChild being attacked on multiple platforms for posting about the Sussexes' upcoming event.

It's happened to charities associated with Harry and Meghan *countless* times, but I can't recall the reverse ever happening
It’s getting tricky to keep up with this thread, so I’m going to turn off replies.

If you *do* have any examples of social media attacks on charities by royal fans (and it seems like a lot of people have seen online abuse) my email address is in my Twitter bio. 📝

Some new developments are coming in the Markle v. Markle defamation case.

Both Meghan and Samantha filed documents today.
If you're interested in following this case, bookmark the link below — it's where I'm uploading the official court documents (primary sources FTW). documentcloud.org/app?q=%2Bproje…
In filings today, Meghan's lawyers literally submitted (photocopies of) an entire chapter of "Finding Freedom."

This story will be coming either tomorrow or early Saturday, as I’m off next week. At the request of a YouTube spokesperson, I agreed to give them additional time to respond. (In their defense, I asked a LOT of multipart platform guidelines questions.)
(Since I’ve been writing for a bit before bed, to be clear: the story is about, BROADLY, royal YouTube. So, YouTube’s terms of service, posting/community guidelines, enforcement policies, account monetization, etc. in that context. But, as I said, it’s for tomorrow. 🛌😴💤)
My #1 observation from this past week of forwarding angry emails from Megxit folks *AND* Sussex fans to BFN security is that a lot of people don’t know how journalism works. Write something about a platform? Must reach out for comment. Don’t lie to sources. Be professional.

McKayla Maroney is ANGRY, excoriating the FBI in her testimony, saying that they covered up for a child molestor for more than a year after she reported Larry Nassar's abuse
Aly Raisman, in her testimony, said the FBI's inaction and the actions of specific agents allowed Larry Nassar to victimize innocent children:
(More clips, including from Maggie Nichols, the other of the four gymnasts to testify, to come after the hearing is over. The questioning has begun.)

THREAD: I'm covering the Senate Judiciary hearing on the FBI's dereliction of duty in the Larry Nassar Case:

Gymnasts Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, McKayla Maroney and Maggie Nichols will be testifying:

Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney, and Aly Raisman preparing their statements as senators deliver their opening remarks.

Each senator so far have censured the FBI for failing in their investigation, categorizing them as enablers to Larry Nassar's abuse.
The hearing is being held in response to a July 14, 2021 report that detailed the MANY ways that the FBI failed to investigate allegations against Larry Nassar — including giving false statements.oig.justice.gov/news/doj-oig-r…
