there is a recent blog post about workgroup at Berkman Center for Internet and Society

this was an old column from last year the same writer did a nice column recently about the fund raising.

The blog post says very little, with the conclusion being the depressing "we're looking into it" which they have been doing for several years now. My experience of the Community Advocacy team when I was harassed was negative. The most practical advice was that I could vanish, rather than expecting anything to change about the harassment. Much less useful than when I stopped talking to them and went to the Metropolitan Police and UK Victim Support instead.

I have no idea if they have improved what they do, as what they will do to help someone being harassed appears to be a secret, along with the cases where accounts have been globally blocked, allegedly in relation to harassment.
