Tightly-written and to the point discussion of harassment and spam in modern social networks. Nothing surprising if you've been paying attention, but nonetheless important reading for anyone involved in building products with any social component.
The taxonomy of harassment is great and seems like it could really help refine moderation policies. The points equating harassment to spam are also well made. However, I question the author's willingness to rely of crowd sourced moderation techniques, which can and have been gamed by large scale harassment campaigns, and the focus on harassment of women lacked intersectional nuance at times; but perhaps these are thing the author plans to update in the upcoming new version.

As with any writing about the web, it feels slightly out of date already (a fact that author acknowledges in the foreword) but the content is interesting and often still relevant. The author discusses the success that companies have had tackling spam and copyright infringement, contrasting this against their apparent failure to tackle harassment.
It’s definitely an interesting read, but I couldn’t help feeling that the argument (convincing as it is) could have been made more succinctly. Whilst it isn’t a long book by any means, it is perhaps longer than it needs to be.… (lisätietoja)
