Hey, you guys.
I have a friend who is a writer, so her name and image are in the public domain. Someone has started a fake twitter account, using her name and photo, and tweets awful rapey things about her using it (like "I'm a big slut and I should be raped" kind of content, but more graphic). Twitter suspended the account briefly and then let it go back up.
I'm sure I've read stuff before about how awful twitter is at taking action on this, and I'm searching for it, but I thought I'd also post here and ask if anyone has experience with dealing with Twitter that's been effective?
(I also have another friend who is the target of a Wordpress blog where the comments are filled with sexual violence threats against her, and Wordpress won't do anything, so this is the week for it it seems)
