Caroline Criado-Perez has been campaigning for putting Jane Austen on British Banknotes for some time. She’s succeeded in two things. First, the author’s picture will appear on ten pound banknotes in the near future. Second she’s faced a torrent of abusive tweets, including threats to rape and kill her.
#unacceptable
So, a petition has been started to get Twitter to do something about this sort of behavior according to IBT. Over 55000 have signed this petition in two days and I suggest that you to do so as well. It is far too easy to do this sort of behavior on Twitter, Facebook, and other forms of social media. Thus Twitter needs to step up and do something about this.
