Gawker Media built an anonymous commenting system to encourage readers to share juicy gossip and sensitive news tips. What its women’s site, Jezebel, got was a “barrage” of violent pornography GIFs and gory JPEGs. You’d be forgiven for not being shocked: Women often pay the price when online publishers facilitate anonymity.
