When we consider how much time young people spend on social media, negative news content may have a bad impact. And those already psychologically vulnerable may be particularly susceptible to the ill effects of a constant stream of negative news. This is because stress responses are often accentuated in those already suffering from symptoms of anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses.
So, it is encouraging to see some technology companies proactively showing concern about their users' mental health. For example, Twitter is teaming up with the youth mental health organisation ReachOut to provide resources to help young people learn about the possible negative impacts of social media, so they won't be overly consumed by it and know how to cope if they are.
This is a good start – Twitter is making more information available. But it can do more, and Twitter shouldn't be the only one doing it.
Yes, I'm certain this is exactly what is needed. Much better idea than shutting your Twitter app.

The etymology of both traces back to the Latin libertas, meaning liberty. It is the bedrock foundation of liberalism and became the same for libertarianism when liberalism was corrupted by socialist fascists into what it is today.

Exactly as predicted you gave a total non-answer that only served as vehicle to get digs in against your 'enemies.'
You don't have one damn clue about what libertarianism actually is.

I don't have enemies, just people I occasionally slap upside the head with some truth in the hopes that it might sink through the uncountable layers of denial.
