Earlier this week, an Anti-Defamation League (ADL) report found that online harassment is at an all-time high. The civil rights org said that over half of Americans reported facing online harassment in their lifetime, with many experiencing it on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit. The ADL noted that almost every demographic saw a rise in hate and harassment. However, the surge is affecting the LGBTQIA+ community the most. We discuss our personal experiences and opinions on whether or not online harassment and negativity is worse. Then James Malouf from WFHR joins for our Friday Civic Media Cross Over. He tells us the best, worst and weirdest of the week.
