Twitter Turns 15, Confronts Growing Pains of Popularity

Irina Raicu, director of the internet ethics program at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, quoted on Voices of America.

"What they really need to prioritize and think about moving forward is how they will deal with the rise of the next Donald Trump. It's really hard when you have a figure like that who is probably very good for business."

Irina Raicu, director, internet ethics at the Ethics Center says Twitter does have a responsibility to moderate content.

It's going to be really hard in the context of some countries to act as the kind of platform that I think it wants to be and enable the types of conversations I think it wants to enable.
