According to a report released Monday, one of the worst cases of cyberbullying and cyberstalking by a group of Twitter accounts was when they trolledAmber Heard and her supporters.
The actress left the Fairfax County Courthouse on June 1, 2022, Johnny Depp was awarded fifteen million dollars in damages by the jury in the case.
The group said the intentional spelling of the #AmberHeardIsAnAbuser, #AmberHeardLsAnAbuser, #AmberHeardIsALiar and #AmberHeardLsALiar shows a calculated effort.
Heard and her female supporters were the subject of over 600 accounts.
The average for other topics is 8.6%, but over 25% of the accounts are about Heard.
Heard and women who supported her were attacked relentlessly, often withvulgar and threatening language, and a fake account was created to attack them.
Evan Rachel Wood, who has accused Marilyn Manson of sexual abuse, and Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide of MarkMeadows, who testified during a public January 6 hearing, were the two people that the troll's focused on.
Heard's team contacted the group in 2020 to study social media activity about her, which was unrelated to their study of the Heard Depp case.
One of the worst cases of cyberstalking and harassment we've ever seen was by a group of Twitter accounts. It's our opinion that the platform did not do enough to stop the abuse and harassment. The report was given to Twitter before it was published.
Heard was accused of defamation over a Washington Post op-ed in which she said she was a victim of domestic abuse. The jury found Heard guilty of defaming Johnny Depp. Heard was awarded $2 million by the jury. The trial attracted attention to social media. There was a lot of discussion of the case on TikTok. Vice reported in May that conservative media outlet The Daily Wire spent between $35,000 and $47,000 promoting articles about the trial, which had a "clear bias against Heard" on social media sites. The #JusticeForJohnnyDepp was seen by 20.4 billion people, while the #JusticeForAmberHeard had 88.6 million. Even if you think I'm lying, you can't tell me that there's been a fair representation on social media There was no evidence that social media had an impact on the verdict.
A report found online harassment against supporters of Heard.
The trial wasn't fair, says amber Heard, but she doesn't blame the jurors.
Johnny Depp's lawyers don't think the verdict will affect the movement.
