According to Twitter’s website, the platform “may suspend an account if it has been reported to us as violating our Rules surrounding abuse. When an account engages in abusive behavior, like sending threats to others or impersonating other accounts, we may suspend it temporarily or, in some cases, permanently.”

As most readers will know, a number of sexual allegations have emerged about Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein since last weekend. McGowan has been vocal on Twitter about Weinstein, who she settled with back in 1997.

 

The spotlight has also now turned to Ben Affleck, who there have recently been a number of groping allegations against, including one involving a MTV presenter who he apologised to.

McGowan called Ben Affleck a liar on Tuesday, as well as telling him to “f— off” after he stated that he had no knowledge of Weinstein’s activities. 

 

 

She has also been encouraging her followers to sign a petition to dissolve the board of The Weinstein Company and tweeted support of Weinstein’s fellow accusers.

 

 

 

 

 

McGowan will not have access to her account for 12 hours. Twitter provided no specific instances of her rule violation, but stated that she can delete the tweets that violate its rules to gain access to her account more quickly.
