Mia Farrow gets Twitter backlash after lion dentist tweet
C Flanigan/FilmMagicActress Mia Farrow speaks during ‘We Day California’ at SAP Focal point on February 25.
Mia Farrow took some Twitter heat Wednesday for joining other mad social media posters and blasting out the business address of the dentist who killed the beloved lion Cecil in Zimbabwe.
Some apparently plotting the actress had listed Walter Palmer’s home address in Eden Grassland, Minnesota, calling for her verified Twitter account to be suspended under the site’s terms of service.
A Twitter spokesman said the company does not note on individual accounts for privacy and security reasons. He directed The Associated Press to official Twitter rules and policies that allow wiggle room on disciplinary action when information was previously posted or showed somewhere else on the Internet prior to being put on Twitter.

The Farrow account deleted the original missive amid the outrage questioning whether the intent was to ensure Palmer is physically tracked down by haters. But the deletion did little to cool Twitter nerves.
