Twitter can no longer protect you from trolling, abuse and fake news

After layoffs in several key departments, microblogging platform Twitter is now unable to monitor content and protect users from trolling, misinformation and child sexual exploitation, BBC on Monday reported quoting company insiders. 

Ever since Elon Musk took over Twitter last year, there has been a spike in the number of misogynistic and abusive profiles. Moreover, the features required to protect users from trolls are "proving difficult to maintain".    

Among many features that have been sacked is the "nudge" button. Lisa Jennings Young, the designer of the button, told BBC that it reduced trolling by up to 60 per cent.
