It’s a head splitting cognitive dissonance to be fielding requests for help from friends who have just gotten swatted at the same time as giving someone else numbers on the harassment and abuse perpetrated by GamerGate because someone he’s talking to thinks it’s over and never had a big impact on…
I’m still sorry all this awful behavior is happening and being directed at you, Zoe, and I really hope it stops as soon as possible. The actions of these guys have changed me from being opposed to government interference on the internet to whole-heartedly supporting it, even if it means an end to the kind of anonymity I like to use. I’m ready to support government initiatives to add restrictions to internet use if it helps minimize or stop the doxxing, threats and harassment.
