Yeah, none of this is true. The vast majority of users have, again and again, called for Twitter (and Facebook and Google) to perform more censorship because (surprise) absolutely nobody has any interest in reading the tweets of various hate groups and trolls. Twitter et al are now aggressively moving to give users what they want but, if anything, it's too little too late. Twitter has developed a bit of reputation as a haven for trolls and abuse. Their success in fighting these groups off and creating a safe space for reasonable discussion (and therefore a safe space for advertisers) will decide whether the product lives or dies. The end game here will be the end of anonymous Twitter and a smaller but much more valuable user community. To that end the market is wrong on focusing on declining user growth. Twitter is moving in the right direction: eliminating abusive users and bots and increasing average revenue per user. (Twitter also has a lot of upside potential when it comes to how they can monetize users. But they are very, very cautious and moving very slowly here. It's a bit frustrating... they are leaving a lot of money on the table... but there's also something to be said for not wanting to piss off users.)
