Regulators around the globe are questioning Twitter’s content moderation work and protection of user data after Musk cut the staff from more than 7,000 to under 2,000
Twitter Inc.’s public policy chief has left the company amid additional layoffs to the unit on Thursday, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, as billionaire owner Elon Musk continues to slash costs.
The layoffs and departures of a high-ranking leader comes as regulators around the globe question Twitter’s content moderation work and protection of user data after Musk cut the staff from more than 7,000 to under 2,000. It handles requests from governments and civil rights groups to remove problematic content and sets rules to protect vulnerable users. With fewer staff, backlogs could increase and some policies in development could be ignored, one of the sources said.
