The Guardian/by Samuel Gibbs   05/20/2015

" Promoted tweet from fake account purporting to be that of Australian feminist campaigner inserts transphobic content into twitter user's timelines." " Twitter user's have expressed outrage at a troll's use of twitter's promoted tweets to insert abuse targeting transgender people into their feeds."
