Jack Dorsey is earnestly looking for answers. 

In a tweetstorm on Thursday, the Twitter CEO said his company is searching for ways to root out trolling, bullying, hate speech, and political manipulation on the network. And in order to do that, Twitter wants to better understand the nature, or “health,” of conversations on its platform.
