A number of women called for a boycott of Twitter on Thursday after the social media platform suspended the account of actress Rose McGowan who sent a series of messages accusing Hollywood elites of covering up Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assaults.

The actress tweeted that actor Ben Affleck was lying about his knowledge of Weinstein’s sexual harassment, called for the board of Weinstein’s company to be dissolved, and wrote that the people who fund and air Weinstein’s films and shows, including Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, should be looked into. She also tweeted in support of women who have come forward with claims that Weinstein abused them.
