Twitter Asks for Nonprofit Help in Fighting Trolls

Could the solution to Twitter’s long-running troll problem come courtesy of the nonprofit sector?

It’s not clear as of yet, but it’s nonetheless worth keeping an eye on the work of Twitter’s new Trust and Safety Council, which the social network announced to the public last week.

The social network, which has faced some high-profile defections in recent months—most recently, the decision by Stephen Fry, one of the earliest celebrities to join the site, to quit the network after being criticized about a joke he made at the BAFTAs—announced that it was collaborating with more than 40 nonprofits on the council.
