Long article (and Panorama programme, broadcast tonight at 7.30pm) by Marianna Spring about online abuse aimed at women in the public eye.
They've compared the abuse directed at male and female reality TV contestants (race is also a factor); tried to contact some trolls to see why they do it; set up various social media accounts and found that Facebook and Instagram are more likely to direct someone with an interest in hate or conspiracy theories to more and more content in that vein; and she describes her attempts of reporting online abuse to the police.
