Twitter failing women as online abuse flourishes, says Amnesty

Many women cannot express themselves freely on Twitter without fear of violence or abuse, Amnesty International said on Wednesday, even though the #MeToo campaign has helped women to speak out.

Abuses ranged from ‘doxing’ - releasing personal documents such as a person’s address or children’s names - to posting nude pictures, the rights group said, as it launched a campaign to get Twitter to step up its response to violations.
