Using Python, Django, and ruthlessness to protect people from social media harassment.

Presented at PyCon AU, Sydney, on August 2, 2019.

In this talk, I present ‘secateur’, a tool for Twitter users to protect themselves from some forms of online harassment. I discuss using Python and Django to create tools that integrate with Twitter, use its APIs, and block lots of people (LOTS of people).

About myself
