Women in technology is a hot topic, for us (a few times) as well as for big technology companies. But the discussion goes so much deeper than that with harassment of women online.
65% of Internet users ages 18-29 have reported being abused or harassed online. It’s worse for young woman and minorities.
Intel, Re/code and Vox Media have partnered on a new initiative called Hack Harassment, which aims to fight the effects of abuse and harassment online. They discuss it below, but I wonder what can churches do to promote and fight against harassment online?

Great share Jeremy, and an even better question: How can the church/church tech stop this?
Jeremy Smith says
That is the question, isn’t it. I think there will be a lot of variation in that response from church to church, but I’d love to find some basic conversations that we can point to that we can find a definitive answer. Even if it does not complete eliminate the problem everywhere.
