Jack Dorsey got the message. Probably.
All day Friday,My Brother in laws Last Fight Before Menopause many women refused to tweet in protest of Twitter's decision to suspend actress Rose McGowan's account as she spoke out against Harvey Weinstein and sexual harassment and assault in Hollywood.

New rules around: unwanted sexual advances, non-consensual nudity, hate symbols, violent groups, and tweets that glorifies violence. These changes will start rolling out in the next few weeks. More to share next week."
