United States: CFWIJ Condemns The Threats And Organized Trolling Against Julie Dicaro

Writer and editor at “Deadspin” Julie DiCaro shared harrowing trauma she suffered because of mass trolling in her recently published book, “Sidelined: Sports, Culture, and Being a Woman in America”. Julie shared two major instances from 2013 and 2015 when she was massively attacked and threatened online. The journalist locked herself in-home and tried to hide her identity after receiving rape and death threats. CFWIJ condemns the toxic trend of mass trolling and feels sorry for what Julie had to go through. We stand in solidarity with the journalist and demand that giant social media platforms make amends to cull the toxic trends of online threats against journalists.
