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."

We seem to have sorted out the link problems, so I'm deleting all of the nonessential posts (I'll leave this one up).

As if some of us don't already cope with Suicidal Ideation on a daily basis - Arrrrrrgh!!!

What the... how obscene... and inciting, hope the global cops pick up on it!

what sort of a nutter is that!

A sad miserable nutter... you have to wonder why someone would go to that much trouble. Seems the woman whose account was faked was just as much a target.
