Former England striker Stan Collymore has said police are "banging their heads against the wall" because Twitter are not doing enough to stop abuse on their site. He said financial factors were preventing action being taken by those issuing abuse on Twitter. "I believe that the number of active (Twitter) users is monetised, so they would much rather have a billion active users who can say whatever the hell they like, rather than spend money on algorithms,scripts, age verification, tying an account to a phone number, or a credit card, which would of course decrease the numbers," he said. http://news.sky.com/story/1198936/stan-collymore-accuses-twitter-over-abuse SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more great videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews and https://twitter.com/skynewsbreak Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews For more great content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: iPad https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/Sky-News-for-iPad/id422583124 iPhone https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB
