#TwitterSilence

A new protest campaign emerged after Britain's Caroline Criado-Perez was bombarded with violent threats on Twitter.

Twitchy reports, "Online threats inspire new Twitter rules, #TwitterSilence campaign."

Louise Mensch strikes the right tone, I'd say, arguing that less silence, especially less silence in identifying the harassment trolls, is the way to go.

#Twittersilence seems wrong to me; ignores major, positive steps taken by @Twitter just a day ago. Won't be joining.

And at the Washington Post, "Twitter apologizes to women abused online."
