Actress Julia Stiles says Twitter is gross because people like US President Donald Trump are active on the micro-blogging site.
The 36-year-old actress says while she once thought the social media platform had a positive side by making people condense their thoughts, she now has an aversion to using the site, reported Contactmusic.
"I've had an aversion to Twitter because of Donald Trump, I've found it so gross because of him. I once thought there was a positive side to having people be succinct, and reduce what they wanted to say to 140 characters, but now it feels like it's shrivelling ideas," Stiles tells Radio Times magazine.
Instead of using her phone to keep up to date on Twitter, the "Riviera" star says she instead uses language learning app Duolingo.
"I use a car-share one and Duolingo for language learning. We filmed 'Riviera' in France for seven months, so I'm trying to keep up my French now I'm back home. Sometimes I'll listen to a podcast called 'News in Slow French' and try and pretend I can understand it.
