- On Thursday McGowan's twitter account was suspended
- Public outcry was so great that by afternoon Thursday her account had been re-actived
- Twitter claimed the official reason for this was because she had shared a private cell number however many women pointed out that their personal information had been leaked and they had recieved threats while twitter refused to ban their harassers
- On Friday many women and men including Rose McGowan, Kerry Washington, Chrissy Teigan and Mark Ruffalo went silent for the day to protest twitter's policies
- CEO Jack Dorsey is now claiming that new policies will be rolled out within the next two weeks that offer better protections to women being harassed and doxxed
- McGowan is calling for Dorsey to start by removing white supremacist Richard Spencer from twitter
