A panel on the coordinated hate campaign on Meghan Markle

Hello Squaddies!! Michelle and Tina are here with you again! We have a special podcast for you all! This panel on the coordinated hate campaign on Meghan Markle, with Christopher Bouzy, the CEO of Bot Sentinel https://botsentinel.com/ (Shout out to a black man starting a tech startup!), Stephanie Guerilus, a Journalist currently at The Grio, and Professor Goldburn Maynard, a Business law and ethics professor was so refreshing and illuminating. So who is behind this hate campaign, what is their end goal, how can we use the information moving forward, what role big tech social media companies play in this, why journalists amplify the hate against Meghan Markle?

Most importantly, did this hate originate on social media, or did it develop with mainstream media? Wow-what a spirited conversation we had! As you all know, Tina is emotional, so you guys got that from her, and Michelle brought her well-thought-out discussion and questions to the panel! We had so much fun on this panel; we could have gone 13 hours, but alas, you only get 2 hours. Thank you so much to everyone! We value your time, honesty, hard work, and opinions!

Questions asked:

Can someone make that link.. set the context of mainstream media and social media and how they feed off of each other If journalists are aware of the smear campaign and can't speak up, why are they participating in it? What course of legal action is available to people who have been harmed or negatively impacted by social media? Existing or in development How does a hateful thought end up as money in someone's pocket? People need to understand that the money trail Do victims and perpetrators fit any stereotypical profile? How does trolling abuse of famous ppl differ from cyberbullying of regular civilians in terms of rights to privacy and how do those differences affect the ability to combat the problem  How does the status of social media companies as “online public square” insulate them from liability? Would it take federal legislation to make platforms the same as news organizations for victims to have valid claim file suits? Do platforms have exposure due to the participatory nature of pushing certain accounts and negative hashtags to users?  What criteria changes for terminating abusive accounts would Chris recommend sites implement?  If you were in charge of a social media site what changes would you make to capture more of the people skirting detection and consequences? What else we can do?
