Twitter brings back the suicide prevention feature again
Twitter has been going under many changes ever since Elon Musk took over the platform and now more things continue to change.
Twitter has made its name quite popular these days due to some problems related to Elon Musk's take over. The company has taken back a feature before and now the feature is back on. Twitter claims that it is working on restoring the #ThereIsHelp banner, a feature that directed users to suicide prevention hotlines and other safety resources when searching for particular content. On Friday, Reuters revealed that the organization had taken out the security device prior in the week on orders from Elon Musk.
Twitter brings back the suicide prevention feature again
1. The message is actually still up. This is fake news.

2. Twitter doesn’t prevent suicide.
Ella Irwin, Twitter's head of trust and safety, confirmed the removal but stated that it was only temporary after the publication of the story. Our prompts have been fixed and updated. She told Reuters, "They were just temporarily removed while we do that." They should be back up next week, we anticipate.
Musk claimed on Saturday morning that the feature had never been removed by Twitter. In fact, the message is still up. Musk wrote on Twitter, "This is fake news," and added, "Twitter does not prevent suicide."
