In a statement released, Twitter further said, ‘After years of hard work, we have managed to make our platform a place where there is no room for things like violence and terrorism. We are seeing this change too. Such activities on Twitter have now come down.

Tell us that there was pressure from governments of many countries on Twitter to counter the jihad and violence spreading through its platform and to create a platform where people get freedom of expression.
