Twitter’s Head of ‘Trust and Safety’ resigns

NDTV

Twitter’s head of trust and safety, Ella Irwin, told Reuters on Thursday that she has resigned from the social media company.

Irwin, who had joined Twitter in June 2022, took over as head of the trust and safety team in November when previous head Yoel Roth resigned. She oversaw content moderation.

Twitter has faced criticism for lax protections against harmful content since billionaire Elon Musk acquired it in October. Irwin’s departure comes as the platform has struggled to keep advertisers, with brands wary of appearing next to unsuitable content.

Musk announced earlier this month that he hired Linda Yaccarino, former NBCUniversal advertising chief, to become Twitter’s new CEO.

  1. I had High Hopes for Twitter under Elon but it looks like he is going to play both sides and try to thread the needle on the free speech front. Sorry buddy but its all or nothing, and you wont be getting 8 bucks out of me till I see it ALL(.)

    On a side note I find it hilarious that the poor dears at the Daily Wire are having such a hard time with big tech after busting Crowders balls for holding the line on free speech for everyone. Serves em’ right.

    That article is from San Francisco.

    They should be quite familiar with the “poop emoji” there.
