Recent events have shown Twitter the user growth and stock valuation impacts of news articles about their abuse problem. You know what makes for bad news coverage? Banning people journalists know. Some of whom really love harassing people who disagree with them, and threatening them with violence, and really blatantly lying about them, and setting their followers on them, and all through it insisting that anyone who thinks there's anything wrong with this is supporting harassment. Oh, and said group of people are decidedly white, those they go after often rather less so, the former get to define what they're doing as fighting racism, and I'm sure you can guess what happens when someone who isn't white disagrees.

Basically, if you read the end of 1984 and always wished your boot could be the one stomping on a human face forever - especially if it was a black woman's face - then this could be the career for you. Otherwise, run away.
