Perhaps you've already seen them but if not I hope they are of some use!

Hi all - can anyone point me in the direction of any literature on trigger warnings in online communities, blogs etc? I'm writing something about regulation of practice in different online comms and negotiations around trigger warnings are a key part of some of the sites involved.

Thanks
