The line ‘Johnny Depp and Amber Heard wouldn’t see what they said, I reasoned, but the survivors around them would.’ really stood out for me. It’s helped me see how damaging these memes and one liner ‘haha’ comments are, and to give public support, rather just private messages, is critical if we have any hope of changing the collective narrative.

Thanks for this article. I too have found the whole trial by social media and the level of hate around this trial deeply disturbing. It has been almost impossible to avoid but I can / we all can think carefully and choose how, and indeed whether, we respond to it.
