Twitter exit ... Australia goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer (Getty Images)
Australia goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer says he closed his Twitter account partly out of frustration at the lack of accountability of users.
Australia's most capped player was a regular on the social networking service before recently deciding to call it quits.
"It was just consuming too much time and just the s*** that goes on in Twitter," Schwarzer said.
"When I speak to (national team-mate) Brad Jones and hear how he got abused when his (six-year-old) son died, to me that is just pathetic.
"There is no regulation of it all and before anything goes on (with me), I thought I have had enough."
