Today, as part of a press stunt, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo and CNBC invited Twitter users to ask questions with the hashtag #askcostolo.

    A significant chunk of tweets on that tag concerned abuse and harassment on Twitter. This problem disproportionately affects marginalized groups, including women and people of color.

    Concerns around harassment were not substantively addressed. Twitter seems helpless to stop the madness. Maybe it’s because their team is so overwhelmingly not comprised of the marginalized groups I mentioned.
