All of those tweets have since been deleted. So has another, which gave the woman's place of work and its address, asking the media to conduct a polygraph of the woman... at said place of work. And only one tweet referencing the woman by name remains as of this writing:

We watched as the bizarre series of tweets played out, and Canseco's account was not suspended at any time, despite multiple calls from Twitter users urging their followers to alert Twitter that Canseco abused the service. It's unclear whether or not Twitter or Canseco (or someone with access to Canseco's account) deleted the tweets among them that vanished. A representative from Twitter did not respond to multiple inquires from The Atlantic Wire on Wednesday afternoon, seeking clarity on the service's policy on the naming of alleged sexual assault victims — it is a longstanding practice in the mainstream media to withhold names, as research has shown that making them public tends to reduce the number of victims who speak out against their attackers to their families and the authorities. But if you look at recent high-profile rape cases and Twitter's Terms of Service, it's clear that Canseco may have only crossed the line in certain respects — and it's becoming more clear that the line may need to be moved.

In Torrington, Connecticut, the witholding of police investigation documents may have contributed to the Twitter shaming of two 13-year-old girls allegedly raped by a star football player and his friend. In Steubenville, Ohio, the 16-year-old victim's name was bleeped in court, but still slipped on air on CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC. As a guilty verdict in the Steubenville case was read and two high-school football players were found guilty, the Daily Kos caught these Twitter users using the Jane Doe victim's first name:

If you recall, two local girls were arrested for threatening Steubenville's Jane Doe on Twitter and eventually pled guilty to telecommunications harassment and were placed on six months probation. But those girls were arrested for the threats, not for releasing her name. In the U.K., where there are stricter libel and privacy laws than here in the U.S. — the BBC notes that a law there grants victims and alleged victims of rape lifelong anonymity — there is a case where people were punished and asked to pay a fine for leaking the name of a woman raped by soccer player Ched Evans, but those are a different set of rules.

We have also seen the other side of this. Back in 2012, a teenager named Savannah Dietrich violated a gag order and named her teenage rapists, who she felt received too lenient a plea bargain. By doing so, she faced a potential jail sentence for being in contempt. The boys, as Jezebel's Katie J.M. Baker noted, did eventually receive a stricter punishment and Dietrich was vindicated. Again, Dietrich was in trouble for violating the gag order which she violated on Twitter. It's hard to tell if she broke any of Twitter's rules. If anything, her case shows that Twitter is an avenue to name names, however legally serious.
