WEEK 16
1. Can Twitter turn stagnation into progress, or has it hit the wall?
- In 2015 Twitter lost one chief executive, gained another, and nearly tossed them too, before eventually settling down with him – incidentally, one of the men who had founded the company way back in 2006.

- Twitter tried to do both, boosting its moderation team to better respond to reports of abuse, while also introducing new features that, it hoped, would protect users. In March, Costolo launched the “quality filter”, an optional tool for verified users (who often see the bulk of abuse on the platform) to eradicate abuse from their notifications. The abusers themselves weren’t touched, but their targets didn’t have to see what they were saying any more.
