Late actor and comedian Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda Williams has returned to Twitter, after taking a break from the social networking site due to online harassment following her father’s death.
Over the Labor Day weekend Zelda took to Twitter following a three-week absence, posting a link to a Tumblr post of a Harvey Fierstein quote, which reads:
“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no ones definition of your life; define yourself.”
The link was accompanied by a short message of “Thank You” from Zelda to her followers.

Following the detestable actions from these users, Twitter announced that it would be reevaluating its policies in regards to the prevention of online bullying and harassment. Hopefully Zelda will be adequately protected from the actions of these loathsome individuals now she has returned to the social networking site.
