New: The Uvalde gunman had threatened to rape, kill and kidnap girls in online messages before the attack. But teens who reported it were ignored, and some saw his angry misogyny as just “how online is" washingtonpost.com/technology/202… @SilviaElenaFF @Cat_Zakrzewski @NaomiNixWrites
Yubo, the group-hangout "Tinder for teens," won't say whether the company received reports of abuse about the gunman. One teen told us dozens were sent, and nothing happened. "I witnessed him harass girls and threaten them with sexual assault" washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
@drewharwell @SilviaElenaFF @Cat_Zakrzewski @NaomiNixWrites Why are teens & women who report threats & misogyny ignored by adults & police? While outlets can't determine the behavior of detectives, are there editorial choices that that could lead teachers, parents, & lawmakers to take these signals more seriously? x.com/digiphile/stat…

@drewharwell @ArendtDave @SilviaElenaFF @Cat_Zakrzewski @NaomiNixWrites ‼️We need Red Flag Laws‼️ Misogyny is the gateway drug for violent extremism. I have read many papers by psychologists & social scientists about this obvious warning sign. hsdl.org/c/misogyny-int…
@drewharwell @SilviaElenaFF @Cat_Zakrzewski @NaomiNixWrites A high percentage of 1/6 MAGA rioters have domestic violence charges as well. It’s alllllll connected.

@drewharwell @SilviaElenaFF @Cat_Zakrzewski @NaomiNixWrites Unrestricted & unmoderated activity online is dangerous. So the Uvalde gunman was already reported for making threatening messaging... and nothing done. This can't stand.
