People of color in Ukraine reported racist mistreatment as they tried to flee the country in the wake of the invasion by Russia. 

And sadly, bad actors and disinformers seized on these critical conversations online to cause chaos and confusion. Christopher Bouzy, data analyst and CEO of Bot Sentinel, a tool that helps identify inauthentic accounts on Twitter, helps us understand what’s going on. 

Shafiqah Hudson’s episode of There Are No Girls on the Internet is one of my favorites we’ve ever published. Listen to her story - How Black Women Tried to Save Twitter: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-black-women-tried-to-save-twitter/id1520715907?i=1000484848337
