Twitter bans users for vile abuse of ‘Ghostbusters’ star

Twitter has permanently suspended a number of user accounts for abuse and harassment after Ghostbusters actor Leslie Jones drew renewed attention to the issue and announced she would quit the social media site.

Jones retweeted and shared several abusive tweets she received before telling her 250,000 followers:

“I leave Twitter tonight with tears and a very sad heart. All this cause I did a movie. You can hate the movie but the shit I got today... wrong.”
