A Woman on Twitter is Abused Every 30 Seconds (fastcompany.com)

That shocking statistic comes from a study conducted by Amnesty International and AI software startup Element AI. From a report: In the study, called Troll Patrol, Amnesty International and Element AI looked at data from 288,000 tweets sent to 778 female politicians and journalists in the U.S. and U.K. in 2017. Using machine learning on the data, the group then extrapolated just how wide-ranging abuse toward women is on Twitter. The result: 1.1 million abusive or problematic tweets were sent to the women in the study during the year -- that's one abusive or problematic tweet every 30 seconds. And it's even worse for women of color -- and especially black women -- who were targeted more frequently than white women.

They authors of this study are not "liberals". They hate liberty. Rather they are Corporate Progressives.

This article appears to have several purposes:

1) Divide the masses against themselves, making it easier for the corporate oligarchy to continue exploiting and oppressing the people.

2) Another shibboleth for Corporate Progressive acolytes, deepening their religious devotion by forcing them to believe in obvious falsehoods.

3) Pretext for increased censorship.
