Caroline Sinders, a research fellow at the Digital Harvard Kennedy School and a machine learning expert, joins Nilay and Casey on The Vergecast to talk about the origins online harassment, how platforms like Twitter and Facebook can be better designed to combat it, and what we as individuals can do to mitigate its effects.
