Online Harassment Makes MSNBC Host Think Twice Before Tweeting


"Melissa Harris-Perry used to love Twitter, she told viewers on Saturday. But now she finds it hard to even retweet things without the fear of online harassment.

"I am at a point where I don't retweet anything that I really like because I fear that I would send all of my haters, all of the harassment that comes to me, over to some person who doesn't deserve it," the MSNBC host said.

Harris-Perry said that it is this very response -- to become less active online due to the harassment she receives -- that allows the perpetrators to win.”
