Well, it appears they are active in getting rid of people they don't like. If they agree with the person's agenda then they don't seem so anxious to get rid of them.
Some simple features could be implemented which would allow to reduce noise, because that's the main issue with Twitter, the noise. If I follow someone because he twitted about #microservice or #elixir , I don't want to hear updates about his baby daughter, his wedding or what political candidates he supports. Twitter still didn't fix this, in fact during all these years they add very little new features to their product when it comes to content curation or filtering. That's what makes Twitter so "toxic".
It's interesting that these stories never consider the reverse. Perhaps Twitter is destroying itself with it's various drives to censor one side of the political debate.
Twitter's management is simply out of touch with reality. Jack is more interested in being a SJW than turning Twitter around. After Twitter's layoffs, their attrition rate has only gotten worse as good people continue to jump ship. Who's left? Rent seekers. Things will only get worse from here for Twitter. I'm a casual Twitter user, not a shareholder, and not a fan of any other social media service.
If twitter had more diverse early employees they would not have built a harassment platform - I read this in a HN comment once and it stuck with me. Nice to see this cost in terms the market understands.
Article just sounds like an attempt to prepare public for more censorship. Twitter has no problems with trolls or terrorists or inciters of violence (blm), but they are however effective on removing political opinions that don't align with their agenda. They don't have "problem" with trolls - they are their facilitators and enablers.
Twitter's problem, as evidenced by the 3.2/5 it received on Glassdoor, is its management. Management being subpar/cookie-cutter means it's very likely not possible to get (relevant) things done, and that they'll steadily go straight into the ground.

Twitter is a cesspool of trolls, bots and trolling bots. All their signup and MAU stats are BS because of this.
Who wants to be responsible for that?
The only way forward is a real name policy ala Facebook.
What a time to be alive.
Someone could say "I think Donald Trump is spreading hate speech", and then what? Well, it contains the word "hate", so
