sudshr47 November 5, 2017

Twitter has a lot of explaining to do.

The social media platform is under scrutiny after several accounts noticed the search tool had begun to bar photos (as well as videos and news) tagged with the #bisexual hashtag — and others.

That moment you learn you’ve been yelling at a Russian troll

A lot of folks have yelled at @Jenn_Abrams on Twitter, and that was the point.

Twitter users can no longer find @Jenn_Abrams on that social platform, because the account was removed after a congressional investigation revealed — as reported by The Daily Beast — this Abrams person was actually a troll account sent into the world by the Russian propaganda outfit known as the Internet Research Agency.
