One pharma company lost millions in a stock crash after someone created a fake account saying they would be giving away insulin for free.<\/li>\n<li>Then, shortly after bringing back the accounts of <strong>Kanye West<\/strong>, <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong>, and tons of white supremacists in the name of free speech, he started suspending the accounts of journalists who were critical of him. He blamed it all on \u201cdoxxing\u201d \u2014 saying anyone who even linked to the account that tracked his private jet\u2019s flight record was endangering him. (Though his claim of a stalker using it to harass him has proved to be pretty dubious\u2026)<\/li>\n<li>Then as everyone started to talk about quitting and going to other sites, he BANNED the posting of links to other social media \u2014 and even giving out your screen names! Real tyrant stuff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All in all he\u2019s cost Twitter millions in revenue as most advertisers run for the hills. And he never even brought back\u00a0<strong>Vine<\/strong>!
