Description

Zoe Quinn's story is one of courage and resilience in the face of online harassment. In 2014, her ex-boyfriend published a blog post containing private information and false accusations, which sparked the #gamergate movement. This online mob targeted Quinn, hacking into her accounts, stealing intimate photos, and threatening her safety. Quinn's response was to speak out against this culture of online abuse and work towards creating a safer internet for everyone. She has since founded the Crash Override Network, providing support and resources for victims of online harassment. In "Crash Override", Quinn shares her personal experience and offers practical advice on how to protect oneself and others from online abuse. Through her story, Quinn sheds light on the complexities of online culture and the ways in which powerful institutions can either enable or combat online hate. This book is a timely and thought-provoking exploration of the impact of the internet on our lives and society.
