Justine Sacco

Luke Abraham

So about 2 years ago during christmas, there was this one main trend on twitter; Justine Sacco. You may be wondering, who is Justine Sacco? She was a normal person, with a normal job, and a nor,al life. And then one mistake changed everything. While on the plane to South Africa, she 
was on twitter, and tweeted random things about her flight/trip, one of which was an extremely racist and untrue comment, as shown here:


After landing, she started to go through her phone, but there was one text message from a friend of her's that stood out. It said that she was the No. 1 twitter trend right now, and the whole world had basically blown up right in her face. She had been fired from her job, lost lots of friends, and also had all of twitter angry at her. So if this could happen to her, a regular person with a normal life, then there should be some way that this can be stopped or at least prevented from happening again.
