Russian 'blue whale challenge' responsible for brainwashing kids into suicide

Not to mention the horrible abuse in general, manipulation/bots, idiots like Trump (now condemned by twitter and snapchat...too little too late), the hostile takeovers and suspicious foreign interests and hostile group takeovers - a key Trump ally has attempted to get a controlling stake in twitter - and much else besides..
