Why don't they just turn off the computer?
- DanBC 11y agoApply that to yourself. Turn off your computer now, and leave it turned off for the next week. Include your phone. Include any online connectivity you have at work.
- tomp 11y agoHow about being reasonable and doing it only as much as necessary? Block people on twitter, avoid going to "hateful" websites and report abusive emails as "spam"?
- geofft 11y agoSarah Jeong's recent book The Internet of Garbage has a good discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of handling abuse as if it were spam, and argues in favor of a solution that is technically similar to current spam filtering, though not the same. Well worth reading for anyone interested in building productive solutions to the problem of abuse.
