A New Focus on the Health of the Platform
TWTR Beats Revenue and Earnings Estimates

Content: a drop of 9 million users compared to Q2. President Donald Trump, too, has commented on the marked decline in his own Twitter followers, dubbing the social media company “a blimp”: Twitter has removed many people from my account and, more importantly, they have seemingly done something that makes it much harder to join – they have stifled growth to a point where it is obvious to all. A few weeks ago it was a Rocket Ship, now it is a Blimp! Total Bias? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 26, 2018

One factor that contributed to the much different reaction to the MAU decline this time around is the recognition that Twitter is acting proactively to shut down accounts that hurt the platform. Social media companies like Twitter and Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) have been increasingly subject to scrutiny over their users.
