Significance
That turned the eleven-year-old MeToo movement into a central pillar of a broader drive in the United States to address gender, race and social inequality. Since then, the technology sector has become a bit more hospitable to women but still has much to do on employment and workplace culture.
Impacts
COVID-19 has stalled some of the momentum to #MeToo reforms.
The tech sector's persistent poor gender diversity potentially hurts industry competitiveness.
Few US states have yet extended sexual harassment protections to cover race, ethnicity and gender identity.
