too much hate Too much threat. Too much disinformation. Various well-known Twitter users have therefore just left the platform. What are the dynamics behind the attacks, and what helps?


"Threats, insults, even very specific death threats - I'm almost used to that," says lawyer Chan-jo Jun. With posts against hate online or about false "lateral thinker" ideologies, he had collected more than 70,000 followers on Twitter.

After the death of Lisa-Maria Kellermayr, the rush and the poisoned tone on the platform was too much for him.

He deactivated his account.

At SPIEGEL Daily he talks about his experience with ads against trolls.

And the social psychologist and researcher Pia Lamberty explains the dynamics behind such attacks and what could help against them.
