Do the right thing, please: US and European governments have been pressuring social media companies including Twitter, Facebook Inc and Alphabet Inc's Google to fight harder against online radicalisation.

Twitter Inc reported its strongest growth in monthly active users in more than a year and a much better-than-expected quarterly profit, despite stiff competition from Facebook and Snapchat, sending its shares up 11%.

The microblogging service said average monthly active users increased 6% to 328 million in the first quarter from a year earlier.
