How can we bolster rights of assembly for communities facing online threats?
CAT Lab has a new pre-print on the behavioral science of assembly & association. Working with a large feminism group, we explain how harassment hinders association and test an effective countermeasure.
Many thanks to our collaborators at r/feminism, and to co-authors @sarahgilbert, Marianne Reddan, and Tyler Simko.
Sarah and I have written further about behavioral science and rights of assembly and association in this post:
