Twitter explained Thursday that it suspended Rose McGowan’s account because she tweeted a private phone number.
Doing so violated the Twitter terms of service.
McGowan has been repeatedly tweeting about the decades-long accusations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
“We have been in touch with Ms. McGowan’s team. We want to explain that her account was temporarily locked because one of her Tweets included a private phone number, which violates our Terms of Service,” Twitter wrote in a statement.

Late Wednesday night, the “Charmed” actress posted a message on her Instagram account that features on her Twitter account were “temporarily limited.”
“TWITTER HAS SUSPENDED ME. THERE ARE POWERFUL FORCES AT WORK. BE MY VOICE. #ROSEARMY #whywomendontreport,” McGowan wrote.
McGowan settled for an undisclosed amount of money for an incident with Weinstein in a hotel room in 1997.
