Twitter’s chief executive officer Dick Costolo has openly admitted that the company has a major problem with abuse and trolls on its platform, and hasn’t done a particularly good job of tackling it.

In an internal memo obtained by The Verge, Costolo speaks frankly about Twitter’s ongoing battle with abusive behaviour on its network, and how he takes full responsibility for their failure to stop it.

Costolo’s comments were made after a Twitter employee asked if anything could be done.

We suck at dealing with abuse and trolls on the platform and we’ve sucked at it for years.
