Memorial

It exists to honor individuals whose lives were affected, in whole or in part, by online abuse, harassment, intimidation, or silencing.

Behind every tribute is a real person — someone who mattered, whose story mattered, and whose voice deserved care, dignity, and safety.

Online abuse is often minimized as “just words.” Yet for many, its impact can be cumulative and deeply personal. It can follow people into their homes, their work, their relationships, and their sense of self. When harm is repeated or ignored, the effects can be lasting.

This page exists to acknowledge that reality — without assigning blame or drawing conclusions — and to hold space for remembrance, compassion, and accountability.

Why We Remember

This tribute is not about statistics, headlines, or assumptions. It is about humanity. We remember those who struggled. We honor those we have lost.

And we recognize that silence — especially in the face of harm — can have real consequences.

By holding space for remembrance, we reaffirm a simple truth:

Every voice deserves to be heard and protected.
