Twitter is experiencing something of a resurgence these days, with user numbers growing since Trump. Basically, Twitter managed to squeeze growth out of its decision not to censor bigots, stalkers, and outright maniacs. Now they're reaping rewards for that decision.

> Twitter is experiencing something of a resurgence these days, with user numbers growing since Trump. Any references for this?
