Twitter to take on trolls in its 10th year

As the social network/microblogging site Twitter enters its 10^th year, it promises to clamp down on trolls as they affect the legitimacy of the site in the online news market. Bruce Daisley, Twitter’s European head, said they are committed to cleansing its site as it enters a milestone year. They reportedly plan to introduce measures that will spell out to trolls how their choices affect not just the online but offline world as well. They want victims to expose their abusers and publish their names to help the brand get rid of these trolls and improve their brand.

The company’s value is reportedly only a fraction of that of Facebook at £22bn. Facebook’s is currently valued at £167bn.
