Is Twitter Shutting Down? People Think So... And They're Tweeting About It

Rumours are floating around on social media claiming Twitter is to be shut down in 2017. There’s no evidence to support the claims, but that’s not stopping tweeters from going off the rails.

Countless users have been venting their dismay using the hashtag #SaveTwitter, wondering what they’ll ever do without their beloved social media platform.
