Jack Dorsey got the message. Probably.

All day Friday,Watch V Online many women refused to tweet in protest of Twitter's decision to suspend actress Rose McGowan's account as she spoke out against Harvey Weinstein and sexual harassment and assault in Hollywood.

Late Friday night, Dorsey -- Twitter's co-founder and CEO -- responded to the #WomenBoycottTwitter movement. Protesters compared the company's enforcement of a 12-hour suspension after McGowan tweeted a private phone number to Twitter's ongoing failure to police racist, anti-Semitic, and sexist harassment.

In an eight-tweet thread, Dorsey promised some "critical" changes to Twitter's anti-harassment tools and policies, to be announced next week.

"We see voices being silenced on Twitter every day. We’ve been working to counteract this for the past 2 years," Dorsey tweeted in a thread. "We prioritized this in 2016. We updated our policies and increased the size of our teams. It wasn’t enough. In 2017 we made it our top priority and made a lot of progress."

"Today we saw voices silencing themselves and voices speaking out because we’re *still* not doing enough," he continued. "We’ve been working intensely over the past few months and focused today on making some critical decisions. We decided to take a more aggressive stance in our rules and how we enforce them. New rules around: unwanted sexual advances, non-consensual nudity, hate symbols, violent groups, and tweets that glorifies violence. These changes will start rolling out in the next few weeks. More to share next week."
