    Safer Social Media Live 🎥 Episode 8 with Karin Kuschel of #IAmHere

    Our guest is Karin Kay. She is an online activist for a better debate culture in social media, has been active in the civil courage initiatives #ichbinhier and #iamhere since early 2017. Volunteer work during the refugee crisis in 2016, and seeing the people arriving in Europe first hand, listening to the stories of other volunteers and their work, the rise of anti-refugee sentiment in the comment sections has led her to feel she had to do something against the hate. QUESTIONS 1. What is #JegArHar/#IAmHere and what led to its birth? 2. How did you become involved? 3. What problem does your organization seek to solve?  4. Why do you think Facebook has not resolved the problem itself? 5. What’s a recent example of #IAmHere in action on Facebook, and how successful were you? 6. How do you measure success for #IAmHere and #JegArHar? 7. What methods do you advocate to accomplish your goals? 8. What is the biggest challenge your organization faces? 9. Facebook wants to move toward end-to-end encryption, which removes them from the social interactions happening on their platforms. Do you think this will obviate the need for your group, or do you think you'll be needed even more? 10. How can people join your movement?
