I think we need to see this story in its proper perspective here.

Yes, this woman received unacceptable messages via twitter. Yes, there need to be mechanisms to deal with it.

However, from her Twitter history you can clearly see she was online into the early hours stoking the trolls, fanning the flames.

She DM'd some random Twitter employee until he got fed up with her and made his tweets private.

She even @-mentioned Barack Obama, asking him to intervene. Seriously.

She claims that she successfully forced the Bank of England to change the design of a new banknote so that a woman appeared on it. Even though there has previously been a banknote featuring a woman; and every single item of UK currency has a woman on it (the Queen).

Her strategy to seek attention by using Twitter's name is win-win. If they change their policy, she was successful and claims credit. If they don't, she can keep bashing them using their high profile name to attract attention.
