Want to make Twitter a better place? Social network wants your suggestions

Twitter, social media

With social media platforms increasingly coming under fire for fanning hate speeches, trolling and failing to stop spread of fake news, Twitter has said it is committed to making the platform less toxic.

It is seeking help of users in improving what it calls the "conversational health" so that it ceases to become a platform for abuse, spam and manipulation.

"We're committing to helping increase the collective health, openness, and civility of public conversation around the world, and to hold ourselves publicly accountable toward progress," Twitter said in a blog post this week.

"We simply can't and don't want to do this alone," Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted.

Those who are interested in helping it define what health means for Twitter and how it should approach measuring it, they can submit a proposal by filling up a form posted on Twitter's official blog by April 13.
