Fox News
Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon's office is leaving Twitter, the agency announced on Tuesday evening, citing a rise in false information on the platform among other concerns.
"LADA will no longer be posting content on this platform. As a prosecutor's office, we uphold the principles of justice, fairness and equality for all. The rise in unchecked vitriol targeting marginalized communities, false information, lack of community guideline enforcement or mechanisms to otherwise address these issues, has left us with no other choice," the district attorney's office said in a statement.

Gascon's office also said that comments made regularly on its tweets have the potential to "harm" members of the community.
