Rose McGowan
In 2017, actress and activist Rose McGowan faced a brief blacklist from Twitter following a series of tweets where she called out actor Ben Affleck for his business association with a disgraced Hollywood movie producer involved in misconduct. However, the ban wasn’t a result of her calling out Affleck; it occurred because she posted Affleck’s phone number, violating Twitter’s privacy and personal information rules.
Twitter rules prohibit sharing private phone numbers or other personal information without the individual’s consent. Rose McGowan’s action violated these guidelines in this case, leading to her temporary ban from the platform. However, the ban lasted only for 12 hours as she promptly removed the offending post in compliance with Twitter’s rules, allowing her to regain access to her account afterward.
