Looking forward to listening to the full series - well done on your honesty Aoife - great first ep
If we force those people to identify themselves, there is the potential that they are put in danger. It’d depend on the wording of the law. There ought to be regulations for social media companies so they are responsible with data 2/2
Great episode again. I do wonder about the potential unforeseen impact of banning anonymous accounts on more marginalised communities. Like trans people for example who can’t safely come out IRL but who express their identity online. 1/2
Colour me shocked to hear a certain person's name mentioned nearer the start of this episode. The same person who sent me a really inappropriate message on Facebook Messenger last year. Didn't know he was so infamous until now.
This story is heartbreaking but should be told in our schools. Jackie is an inspiration and her work is going to save lives, heartache and grief.
This is one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to listen to. I keep thinking of my own mother when Jackie is speaking. What a brave and courageous woman to be able to speak out and have the impact she has through her grief.
Listened to this episode yesterday but really needed time to process the emotions I felt during and after. Such a raw, emotional episode and although I cried so much (whilst driving, not ideal!!), I feel it was such a necessary episode.
What an amazing episode. Made the mistake of listening while out on a walk and ended up crying through the whole thing out in public! Such a raw story that really gets across the heartbreaking effects bullying can have on people
Listening to this holding my breath the whole time. What a harrowing story. I'm expecting a baby girl now and it's so scary to think of the world she might be coming into. Jackie, I am so sorry for your loss ❤️
My eldest was the same age as Coco. I'll never ever forget Nicole's name, or her mother. Jackie you are absolutely amazing. Thank you for everything you have done to help keep out children safe.
