Popular microblogging platform Twitter is planning to take steps help curb ‘hate speech’ and trolling on its service. As per a report by Financial Times, Twitter Chief executive Dick Costolo said that he found instances of abuse "horrifying", but did not want to undermine their commitment to free speech. Twitter's plans could include censoring replies/comments from users who have no followers, biography or profile picture .“The reason we want to allow pseudonyms is there are lots of places in the world where it’s the only way you’d be able to speak freely. The flipside of that is it also emboldens these trolls... how do you make sure you are both emboldening people to speak politically but making it OK to be on the platform and not endure all this hate speech? It’s very frustrating,” Costolo is quoted as saying.
