Cracking down on hate, abuse and online trolls is also hurting Twitter’s standing with investors.
The company’s stock plunged Friday after it reported a decline in its monthly users and warned that the number could fall further in the coming months. The 20.5 percent plunge comes one day after Facebook lost 19 percent of its value in a single day.
Twitter says it’s putting the long-term stability of its platform above user growth. That leaves investors seemingly unable to value what the biggest companies in the sector, which rely on their potential user reach, are worth.
Twitter had 335 million monthly users in the quarter, below the 339 million Wall Street was expecting, and down slightly from 336 million in the first quarter. That overshadowed a strong monthly user growth of 3 percent compared with the previous year.
The company said its monthly user number could continue to fall in the “mid-single-digit millions” in the third quarter.
While Friday was Twitter’s second-worst loss since it went public in November 2013, the stock has still doubled in value over the last 12 months. …

It's actually putting leftwing political correctness above user growth by using strategies like "shadowbanning". Conservative users who are paying attention are not amused.
This day just gets better and better for us and more of a nightmare for the elites who own/control social media like Facebook and Twitter.
...My Congressman, Matt Goetz was one of those banned...
Mine too. Go Goetz.
The tactic of liberalism is to silence the opposition. When that fails as it usually does, the next step democrats take is to destroy them by every available means.
Their deceit can’t stand exposure and the light of day.
What platform is that snippet from?
Trump kicked their ass with Shadow banning Conservative free speech. We need immediate amendment to the civil rights bill so this will never happen again and if it does we get BIG BUCKS AND ATTORNEY FEES!!
Oh No! What will Trump do when he no longer has Twitter to depend on!!
E-trade
I think he was the congressman who said he went along with the censorship because they were private companies. As soon as he said that they indeed banned him. He thought he could play it safe and they wouldn’t bother him. Surprise! Infowars had a segment on him yesterday.

They deserve it for censorship of normal people and promoting leftist crap.
What they call “hate”, we call normal conservatism. Any thing they mildly disagree with is called hate speech.
When the anti-Islamic video came out (Hillary and Obozo used to cover Benghazi with) many liberals in the NPR comment section, called for the video maker to be sent to the middle east, for “justice”, and the rest of the liberals remained silent. This is proof in my mind that todays liberals are really about suppressing free speech.
Yes, being against evil is “hate” to the lovers of evil. Been that way since the first two humans ate from a certain tree.
“Cracking down on hate, abuse and online trolls” ?
what a joke.
cracking down on anyone who doesn’t go along with the hateful, abusive leftist PC agenda more like it.
What happens when POTUS leaves twitter for another site?
