What you can do.
Change starts with one person. Bystanders, those affected, platforms, and media each have different roles and choices.
Three roles, three kinds of action
As a bystander
Your attitude shapes the temperature of the digital world. Turn indifference into support.
- Don’t share unverified negative content
- Speak against harm and for restraint in comments
- Support victims privately
As someone affected
It is not your fault. Protecting yourself is the most important first step.
- Turn off comments and direct messages
- Save screenshots and evidence
- Seek support from people you trust and professionals
As platforms and media
Rules and systems decide whether harm gets amplified.
- Build faster, clearer response systems
- Reduce the visibility of rumors
- Protect privacy and safety of those involved
Action checklist
If you don’t know where to start, try these three small steps.
Pause 3 seconds when you see harm
Replace “share” with “verify”
Say one supportive thing to someone who’s silent
Chain of kindness
When we choose to speak up, harm can’t easily become “normal.” Every act of care is seen.
“Kindness is not weakness—it is one of the strongest answers to violence.”
