@sydneyelainexo Unfortunately hand sanitizer doesn’t protect against COVID airborne transmission, and a bunch of ppl are getting it w KN95s because it’s so contagious. But so glad to hear you haven’t gotten yet! Stay safe and remember that it’s airborne 💓 — PolitiTweet.org

I have to fly soon for work & as someone who is medically vulnerable I’m so scared. All COVID precautions that keep high risk people safe have been dropped. I plan to keep an N95 on my face for all 7 hours w/ zero water breaks, but I’m scared it may not seal perfectly. Any tips? — PolitiTweet.org

@keithedwards Not to be that person but we are in the middle of a pandemic so please wear a mask to protect the high risk and vulnerable! 🙏🏻😭 ilu! — PolitiTweet.org

@luisassardo Goes without saying, but so grateful that my editor at WaPo understands this stuff and my editor at NYT did too. Hope media reporters, newsroom leaders, and others in the industry can learn about it too. Stay safe everyone! 💓 — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@AllanaSmithee @luisassardo the attacks don't get to me, it's when media companies buy into them that's the problem. I know we can all do better!! I know my editors at WaPo understand all this <3 — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@luisassardo Thanks again @luisassardo. It's helpful for people in the media to get a little peek behind the curtain of how these campaigns operate 🙏🏻 https://t.co/IDALcrfyX5 — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@luisassardo Too many reporters take these campaigns at face value, boosting and legitimizing extremists. They don't know how to cover harassment. A prominent media reporter shouldn't be amplifying a radicalized influencer who helped perpetuate gamergate in order to attack a female journalist — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@luisassardo The number 1 thing media bosses can do to support journalists targeted in these ways is to learn to recognize bad faith attacks and refuse to give them credence! Media reporters also need to stop amplifying these campaigns w/ zero scrutiny. We need more industry-wide education — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@luisassardo Read this thread as well. In this case, thousands of hacked IG accounts were leveraged to perpetuate this ongoing smear campaign that also had a strong SEO manipulation component. This is how the internet works now! https://t.co/yhCHjkEDN9 — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@luisassardo Every media outlet in this industry must to begin to understand the nuances of how these campaigns operate in order to protect their journalists. These are complex, organized, sustained campaigns that overwhelmingly target women, POC, and LGBTQ journalists https://t.co/NKd9ywI3Yj — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

Ty @luisassardo for this thread and analysis. It's a good ex of what media orgs need to prepare for. Online smear campaigns are not just "mean tweets" they consist of FB ads, SEO campaigns, bot networks, influencer promotion, and so much more (as well as IRL threats) — PolitiTweet.org
