I haven&#x27;t hammered this point home because I&#x27;ve lost the graph, but have absolutely seen one breaking down user growth month by month, and there&#x27;s a clear turning point around about August 2014 — which is of course the month the Gamer Gate frenzy kicked off.<p>If there&#x27;s something in that correlation, then actually the Safety Council is unlikely to be the beginning of the end — but it may come too late to reverse the damage done by the abusers who have run rampant on Twitter for years.
