NEW: Twitter has made deeper cuts into its already radically diminished Trust and Safety team handling global content moderation + its Site Policy team that handles hate speech and harassment. w/ @kurtwagner8 https://www.bloomberg.com/...
We also got a rare response from Twitter—we haven't heard from them in weeks. It no longer has a comms dept. Ella Irwin, Twitter's new head of Trust and Safety, confirmed the cuts but denied they targeted some areas we report on. https://www.bloomberg.com/...
The cuts happened last night. At least a dozen more people were slashed from Twitter Trust & Safety, including the relatively new head of its APAC region + workers in misinfo policy, global appeals and state media. https://www.bloomberg.com/...
New: More Twitter layoffs. This time hitting the Trust and Safety team that handles content moderation. Employees were alerted Friday night. https://www.bloomberg.com/... w/@daveyalba
These are ...interesting... roles to cut when regulators are already on high alert. Wonder if Musk is paying as much attention to the EU as he should be, as they are by far the likeliest to take *major* regulatory action. https://twitter.com/...
On Nov 21st, Musk told remaining Twitter employees that there would be no more layoffs. He has done multiple rounds of cuts since. https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/...
