Have to comment on this example of #ChillingEffect.

Very poor leadership when CEO (57.6K followers) broadcasts message that the *letter* debacle has moved to vandalism now. Seriously - come off it. Fake News much. With all the toxicity that brings.

1/5 (hate theads!) https://twitter.com/colmogorman/status/1333766514785325057

1)Photo has absolutely zero relevance to Amnesty’s letter debacle- the photo was from time of campaign on Sexual Offences (2017)
2) account tweeting the photo has 242 followers & tweet had zero traction
3)CEOs message builds narrative he & Amnesty are being victimised

4)note word Woman in the graffiti stands out- subtle suggestion that women are doing the victimising.

Not a good look in a leader. Not a good look in a CEO of human rights organisation.

Let’s be clear - I am calling out the role of CEO not the the individual.

Some would call this DARVO. Way too overblown IMO. Nobody has been abused here. Not least of all the CEO. While he may feel vandalised he clearly has not been vandalised. But dynamics are plain to see. Create victim narrative where there has been no victimization.

Once the victim narrative has been created there simply has to be an attacker, a bully, an offender. Now it was hardly that sad little 254 follower account with no power. If not it, who? Me perhaps? Now you begin to see the dynamics of the #ChillingEffect
