Twitter's former trust & safety chief, who once said the platform was safer under Elon Musk, now says he believes the opposite

YoelRoth, the former head of trust and safety at Twitter, said that the company is not safer under Musk.

There are not enough employees at the company who understand trust and safety to moderate the platform effectively according to the man who left his role at the company just two weeks after Musk's takeover.

"You can't rest on your laurels when it comes to what you do," he said. It's not possible to automate it. Trust and safety are not set and forgotten.

Musk has laid off even more workers after laying off half of his staff.

The position is a reversal forRoth, who wrote in a New York Times op-ed that the platform was safer under Musk than it was before

11 days ago, he was optimistic about the platform's safety due to the team's handling of a troll campaign.

He said that to keep its content safe from violence, hate speech, and illegal activity, it would need to keep a couple of steps ahead of it.

You can't want a policy that is just. He said that you can't do that if you want to be a viable consumer service.

The misleading information policy that was put in place in March 2020 will no longer be enforced by the company.

The policy change was bad and damaging.
