trolling and hate on twitter

Twitter has struggled to deal with abuse and harassment on its platform and now faces closer scrutiny from regulators. In January, a French court ruled that Twitter must show exactly how it combats online attacks, while the UK is preparing legislation to force all social media sites to act swiftly on hate speech or face fines. Twitter is to expand its Safety Mode feature, which lets users temporarily block accounts that send harmful or abusive tweets. The system will flag accounts using hateful remarks, or those bombarding people with uninvited comments, and block them for seven days. DO you think that it high time for the authorities to take action against those who spreads online hate and trolls instead of blaming social platforms ?
