Update: Tay has now gone back to its home and is no longer available to access

Tay then went on to spam her followers with "You are too fast, please take a rest..." over and over, which subsequently resulted in Microsoft making the account private once again. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear as though the team behind Tay has quite got control of the situation, but we're anticipating how Tay will be able to withstand the upcoming onslaught from trolls once she's back up and running.
