A TOP mental health advocate has hit out at Twitter and Instagram after TV presenter Charlotte Dawson's death, saying they need to respond more quickly to bullying attacks on vulnerable users.
Dawson, 47, was outspoken about her depression and in 2012 publicly waged war on so-called Twitter trolls.
The New Zealand-born star was found dead in her Woolloomooloo apartment in Sydney on Saturday morning.
Amid the public outpouring of grief that followed, many on social media pointed at hateful comments directed at Dawson in recent months
