Twitter Inc denied on Thursday rumors that the social media
messaging carrier could be shutting down in 2017, denouncing the claim as
groundless.
"there's absolutely no truth to the claims in any
respect," a spokesman for Twitter said in an emailed reaction to a Reuters
request for comment.
Social media commenced buzzing with the hashtag #SaveTwitter
early on Thursday, with extra than a hundred,000 tweets bringing up the hashtag
by way of early afternoon. It changed into doubtful how the rumor began
although a few tweets said it originated from a Twitter consumer who complained
approximately on line bullying and Twitter's bad handling of such abuses.
Twitter has been criticized for now not doing enough to
police abusive conduct on the messaging service, and has struggled to find the
proper balance between loose expression and blocking violent or hateful speech.
final month, Twitter permanently suspended some of user
debts for harassment, along with that of Breitbart tech editor Milo
Yiannopoulos, vowing to redouble efforts to thwart abusive conduct and block
repeat offenders from the social media website online.
