Twitter suspends Rose McGowans account

I have have no doubt at all that they are behind this. It wouldn't take much just a phone call from the right man to the right man.

Wait, why would she need to delete her own tweets? If a moderator found the tweets in violation of the TOS, why wouldnt they just be removed by Twitter?

It ain't just Trump though. ISIS members are on this shit.
Seems like an obvious power play. Shame her in to removing the tweets about the all powerful media members in question so they know who did this to her.

If Twitter actually wanted to hide her allegations, this is about the worst thing they could have done.
Then again, its Twitter, so entirely possible.

I don't think it's too many tweets, but too tweets with multiple reports from multiple users in a short space of time.
It's algorithmic, but the gamergoobers have long, long since figured out how to game it to suspend people they don't like. Because algorithmic moderation does not, and can not, ever work.
(I'm afraid I go back here to not understanding why Gaf wants Twitter to moderate more, because Twitter cannot, and will not, ever be able to do this correctly. Ever. If they attempt to do more, they will mess up more).
I've also seen some reports which I don't know if are true that Rose McGowan posted Lindsey Lohan's private mobile number and that's why it was suspended. I don't know if that's true. But I'd have a bit more sympathy for Twitter if it were true.
I'm assuming each of the marked tweets have an option to contest the reported reason.

Silicon Valley needs to be cleaned out bad.
So this is the new rule in Hollywood now? Keep your mouth shut and your pants down and everything will be fine?
So Twitter is coming full circle, then... they let the President start a nuclear war on their service, but allow a woman to stand up for something and she must be punished.

One who is the face of a billion dollar franchise and upcoming blockbuster and overshadowing even things like Woder Woman 2. Save the hate for Weinstein now that the cat is out of the bag, but Batman right before Justice League, silence her at all costs!

New rule? That's been the rule since the beginning.

Yeah, what the hell? Twitter is absolutely garbage if this is arbitrary. This is going to blow up.

I wish there was legitimately well-moderated social media. I wish there was an option for people who left Facebook for Twitter and now want to leave Twitter for... something.
NeoGAF - and specific subreddits - are the only services I use with meaningful moderation.

Is her account back? Seems to work unless I'm missing something.

Complete garbage that this happened in the first place.

I'm pretty sure it's not. I wish it would though.

She can't post.

If you read the image in the OP you'll see it isn't a total account nuke like you'd get on GAF. She just can't actually tweet.

I've been heavily considering dropping Twitter altogether and this may be the final push. Absolutely garbage moderation.
At the very least, they do recognize they end up looking like racist/Neo-Nazi/misogynist sympathizers, right?

How often did we think that with similar things? Nothing will happen.

They'll give verified ticks to self proclaimed Nazis on twitter but will shut suspend a woman's account for talking about Weinstein/Affleck as "offensive"...

I wouldn't say nothing. This will open more than a few eyes on to the reality of gender relations and how horrible Twitter is. Not a cultural shift but it'll make a difference in some lives.

Wow. Only 12 hours though? What exactly is the point of such a ban?
She needs to delete tweets (they don't mention which). Only then will a 12 hour countdown start.
Make no mistake. They are silencing her.
If that's true, Norm MacDonald should've been gone ages ago.

12 after she deletes the tweets they want her to delete
12 hours can be forever in a news cycle
and it was a warning shot

Maybe they should ban Trump from tweeting so he stops escalating tensions between countries and foreign adversaries.

12 after she deletes the tweets. It's a shaming ban.

It's a warning to her and everyone else speaking out to shut up or get banned again.
12 hours is up. It's all automatic.

Love Twitter, so entertaining.
Eh, lately it seems like the the people in power are all alt-right fucks, which means nothing will actually change where it actually matters, like the workplace.
Revolutionary

Oh geez. I thought it would simply restore her access after the 12 hours are up, I skimmed over the part that she had to actually delete them to start the countdown.
You love this?
