Stop Online Hate
Why this petition matters
Meghan Markle has for years been the target of sweeping hate-fueled harassment online and Twitter has become a breeding ground to spread their conspiracy theories, racists commentary, and incite violence. This is not the first time data has revealed a coordinated effort to distort the truth when it comes to a public figure. But more often than not, all that hate and rage is geared towards black women. Twitter has allowed these hate accounts to harass and stalk others that are in defense of Meghan, Prince Harry and their children. These accounts have tweeted their desires to have Meghan and Harry killed, along with her mother, suggested that her children don't exist and have tried to deny her of her Black Heritage. These accounts should never have a place to spread their hate and vitriol. Twitter has had the power to suspend these accounts but has done nothing to remedy the problem. with the Botsentinel report, they have more than enough information to fix the problem. Its time Twitter take these reports seriously and help curb the hate that is growing on their platform.
