VIRO - Online Harassment Tracking

VIRO is the first online harassment tracking application that allows the User to report online harassment as it is happening. The User submits anonymous reports that are gathered in real time and reported instantly. ### The Virtual Incident Reporting Operation allows the User to quickly report: ✓ Where the online abuse took place ✓ What was said to the User (eg., racist comment, attack on personal appearance, etc.) ✓ What was the nature of the abuse (eg., verbal threat, urge self-harm, etc.) ✓ How did it make the User feel (eg., angry, hurt/sad, targeted, etc.) ✓ What action did the User take (if any) (eg., blocked harasser, reported to platform, etc.) ✓ What was the impact of the abuse (eg., couldn’t sleep, worried about my safety, etc.) ### User reports enable collective action designed to hold the social media companies accountable for allowing online harassment, hate and abuse to continue and grow unchecked. ### Real time reporting statistics are reported on the app and available to the User at the completion of each report submitted. VIRO is a project of Informed Opinions, a registered charity in Canada. Detailed statistics from VIRO can be found at informedopinions.org/onlineabuse
