How many users does Twitter have today (and still growing)?
Twitter started up in 2006 - by Evan Williams, Biz Stone and Jack Dorsey, as a social networking platform that combined the short, simple communication style of a text message with the more public, social aspects of sites like MySpace and Facebook. Twitter quickly became extremely popular, with over 40,000 Tweets per day being posted by early 2007, expanding to about 65 million Tweets per day in 2010. Today Twitter has over 330 million users and is still growing. https://eachother.org.uk/social-media-and-human-rights-a-timeline/

What social media tool did Gendered Intelligence use to assist their Trusst Me campaign?
"The hashtag in itself offers a creative use of words to highlight different issues. And therefore making these issues visible. Hashtags are short: the message is, of course, condensed, which can be problematic. And since attention spans on social media are short, the hashtag may or may not have a lasting impact."

What is sea-lioning? (Select all that apply)
ALL AND ANY OF THE BELOW ANSWERS - we've cheated a little bit because this is what Lee Pinkerton says in our film "A term I've just come across recently, ‘sea lioning’, which is people questioning asking you to justify or give examples of the discrimination that you're facing." But we think this is an important microaggression to be able to identify - it can be a very exhausting thing to be dragged into - with the best of intentions to engage in conversation - which is often the hope of the people employing this tactic. You can read more here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning
When people ask you to justify the discrimination you're talking about
When people feign polite ignorance to troll you
When people ask you basic information about an issue that can easily be found elsewhere to tie up your time

How could you consider social media activism? (Select all that apply)
ALL AND ANY OF THE BELOW ANSWERS! EachOther recognises that many people are living with issues that might mean social media is the only space they can engage with activism. This might be because of a host of reasons not limited to the fact they are disabled, need anonymity because of threats to their job or relationships, or even their lives. However for people not dealing with these situations, social media should be seen as just one tool in a much bigger arsenal of tactics. As our Inspired Source op-ed writer Charlotte Colombo says "Sharing hashtags and petitions to show your support for a particular cause is easy – what’s more difficult is using what you’ve learned about on social media in the real world." Read her piece on social media here. https://eachother.org.uk/activism-on-social-media-often-rings-hollow/
As simply one tool of many that you use to enact support for causes that matter to you
As the only space I can use because I am living in an abusive situation so need anonymity
As a way I can get to protest because I have a disability that stops me from attending marches
A place for me to learn about issues that I can then look to support in the real world

ALL AND ANY OF THE BELOW ANSWERS!
