I think there is a war on women in technology.

Obviously, whenever the government is getting involved with speech, it gives me a lot of pause. I have a background as a journalist, so that's something that I take very seriously.

For me, especially running for office, being on Twitter is a fundamental part of my job.

For most of 2016 and 2017, I would say probably 90% of my Twitter feed was automated bots sending repetitive messages at me. Someone would basically pay bots to send me messages over and over and over again. It made Twitter nearly unusable.

Gamergate was the proto-alt right.

For any prosecutor, a decision to show leniency in sentencing must be weighed against multiple factors. Do they show remorse for their actions? Are they a threat to the public and law enforcement? Do they intend to contribute to society?

Most members of Gamergate, the alt-right movement best known for harassing women in the game industry, operate under a veil of anonymity.

Walking is great, I guess.

With major films costing hundreds of millions of dollars to make, Hollywood is an industry that tends to repeat patterns when they make money.

If you're fortunate enough not to know, Gamergate is the misogynist hate group of the video game world.

My capacity to feel fear has worn out, as if it's a muscle that can do no more.

Facebook, Apple, Tinder, Snapchat, and Google create our social realities - how we make friends, how we get jobs, and how mankind interacts. And the truth is, women don't truly have a seat at the table.

Sometimes I speak out on women in tech issues.

If you don't know what Gamergate is, my God, do I envy you.

I am a software engineer, a popular public speaker, and an expert in the Unreal engine.

It's sad when 'Grand Theft Auto' has more consequences for criminal behavior than real life.

Prosecuting Gamergate is not about justice for me or the women of Giant Spacekat. It's about introducing consequences into the equation for men that treat harassing women like a game.

Gamergate has grown into a hate group that threatens the stability of the $60 billion a year game industry.

Gamergate gave birth to a new kind of celebrity troll, men who made money and built their careers by destroying women's reputations.

I think Gamergate is just a symptom of a disease: a $90 billion global industry that was built by men for men.
