Daily Stormer

Well, Twitter’s boss came out and said they need to do more to stop the trolls, and just so, feminists are agreeing with him.
This Twitter troll reporting system that isn’t good enough for these whining hags was introduced as a result of the Daily Stormer’s trolling of Luciana Berger, and it is thus called the Berger Protocol.
CBC:
“We suck at dealing with abuse and trolls on the platform and we’ve sucked at it for years,” Dick Costolo, the CEO of the microblogging site, conceded in a recently leaked staff memo.
“We lose core user after core user by not addressing simple trolling issues that they face every day,” he added in one of two internal emails obtained by the technology and culture website The Verge.
Costolo blamed himself for letting down victims such as feminist writer Lindy West, whose encounters with online abusers reportedly prompted the CEO’s vow to be “more aggressive” about stopping harassment.
But his pledge to fix the problem rang somewhat hollow for West, who has endured online threats for years for writing about what she calls “big, fat, bitchy” topics.
“I’ll believe it when I see it. And I want to believe it,” she said from Seattle.
“I’ll screen-grab [the abusive messages] and block the user and report it. But there’s so much out there that I’m sure, cumulatively, it eats up a lot of time.”
…
“Most of my reports [to Twitter moderators] of abuse are rejected,” she said. “I could spend all day collecting hundreds of links. Now, I’ll just report it if it’s a graphic rape threat or something. If it’s ‘Kill yourself, bitch,’ I don’t even bother.”
LOL
You should bother – to kill yourself, bitch! Zing!
But seriously. This is serious. Internet is closing in on us.
This is happening, of course, as the UK government is literally working toward banning people from the internet.
The good news is, none of these things are really capable of being applied at this point. Garron Helm will probably get banned from the internet, I guess, but I doubt after the hell we raised last time they are going to arrest anyone again, and I doubt they are going to request IP info from Twitter for the bans from the internet.
Anyway, Orwellian hell, all around.
