Barely a month goes by without a celebrity becoming the victim of “internet trolls”. But who are the trolls? And can we stop them while protecting free speech? Helen Lewis has seen some shit you wouldn’t believe on 4Chan, and wants to tell you all about it.

Helen, the deputy editor of the New Statesmen, will be walking us through this.

WARNING: She’ll be using graphic images, apparently!
