New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman described Twitter as an “anger video game for many users” in an article explaining her decision to pull back from the social media platform on Friday.

On Sunday, Haberman, who is a White House correspondent for the New York Times, announced that she would be stepping back from the platform. “With exception of breaking news and my own stories, taking a break from this platform. No reason or prompt other than that it’s not really helping the discourse,” she wrote.
