"We are using this pilot project to learn about what kind of gender harassment is happening on Twitter, how that harassment intersects with other kinds of harassment (racist, transphobic etc) and what types of cases Twitter is prepared (and less prepared) to respond to," a post on WAM website read.

"We are not Twitter and we cannot make decisions for them. We are going to do our best to advocate for you with them, though," the post added.
