Twitter's ex-head of Trust & Safety on why he resigned: a Twitter whose policies are defined by unilateral edict has little need for a trust and safety function

Earlier this month, I chose to leave my position leading trust and safety at Elon Musk's Twitter.

Last week, for security reasons, we restricted access to our internal tools for some users, including some members of my team. Most of the 2,000+ content moderators working on front-line review were not impacted, and access will be fully restored in the coming days.

With early voting underway in the US, our efforts on election integrity — including harmful misinformation that can suppress the vote and combatting state-backed information operations — remain a top priority.

More than 80% of our incoming content moderation volume was completely unaffected by this access change. The daily volume of moderation actions we take stayed steady through this period. https://twitter.com/...

I'll continue to share updates about our Trust & Safety work as things evolve in the days to come. Our team's mission of enforcing our policies and protecting the conversations happening on Twitter remains unchanged.

What AREN'T we doing? In the short term, we've had to deprioritize a few workflows — like account access (lost password requests), and some suspension appeals. We're working to get these back online in the days to come.

Yesterday's reduction in force affected approximately 15% of our Trust & Safety organization (as opposed to approximately 50% cuts company-wide), with our front-line moderation staff experiencing the least impact.

Since Saturday, we've been focused on addressing the surge in hateful conduct on Twitter. We've made measurable progress, removing more than 1500 accounts and reducing impressions on this content to nearly zero. Here's the latest on our work, and what's next.

Sources: Twitter froze some staff access to content moderation and policy enforcement tools, raising worries about a misinformation spike before the US midterms

Twitter Inc., the social network being overhauled by new owner Elon Musk, has frozen some employee access to internal tools used …

We're changing how we enforce these policies, but not the policies themselves, to address the gaps here. You'll hear more from me and our teams in the days to come as we make progress. Talk is cheap; expect the data that proves we're making meaningful improvements.

Our primary success measure for content moderation is impressions: how many times harmful content is seen by our users. The changes we've made have almost entirely eliminated impressions on this content in search and elsewhere across Twitter. https://twitter.com/...

Why? Because bystanders don't always have full context, we have a higher bar for bystander reports in order to find a violation. As a result, many reports of Tweets that in fact do violate our policies end up marked as non-violative on first review.

Let's talk for a minute about slurs, hateful conduct, and trolling campaigns. Bottom line up front: Twitter's policies haven't changed. Hateful conduct has no place here. And we're taking steps to put a stop to an organized effort to make people think we have.

In a now-deleted tweet replying to Hillary Clinton, Elon Musk shared a lurid, baseless conspiracy theory about the hammer attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul

Billionaire peddled the conspiracy theory on Twitter just days after he completed his takeover of the social media platform

We believe that disclosing content moderation data to researchers is critically important, and that doing so is in the public's interest. https://blog.twitter.com/... The insights that result from these datasets put policy issues front and center, and go beyond any one platform.

I love Twitter Circle, and am so glad everyone will have access to it. The magic of Circle is that you get to interact with the other members of Circles you're a part of — not just the people in your own. It gives you access to multiple small, trust-based social graphs. https://twitter.com/...
