User Privacy
Platforms should provide methods and tools for concealing their identities and personal data, so that any harassment can be blocked from spreading beyond the platform.
How does this mitigate hate?
When platforms provide methods and tools for users to conceal their identity and personal data, harassers aren’t able to obtain information that they need to harass the user beyond the platform. If the harassment can be limited to a single platform, the user has more control in separating themselves from the harassment.
