Sweden's public radio shuts down Twitter accounts over fake news and hate speech concerns.

Swedish public broadcaster Sveriges Radio has decided to stop using Twitter as part of its social media strategy, citing concerns over "recent turbulence" at the company surrounding its ability to fight fake news and hate speech. The broadcaster says only an estimated 7% of Swedes are active on Twitter, and they've experienced a drop in interactions and less dialogue around their tweets in recent years. SR has made it clear they're not restricting their staff from using Twitter accounts, and the decision to stop using the micro-messaging platform is only for editorial output.
