Caitlin Moran: 'social media is like a baby screaming and throwing tantrums'

Writer and Times columnist says Twitter needs to 'grow up' and tackle abuse against women

Caitlin Moran, the author and Times columnist, has called on Twitter and other social media platforms to do something about abuse against women.

The award-winning writer said on Tuesday that Twitter could afford to "hire three people" to tackle threats against women if it aimed to be the place to be for global debate.
