Head of trust at Twitter speaks out

Question

"In appointing himself “Chief Twit,” Mr. Musk has made clear that at the end of the day, he’ll be the one calling the shots.

It was for this reason that I ultimately chose to leave the company: A Twitter whose policies are defined by unilateral edict has little need for a trust and safety function dedicated to its principled development."

Do you think ex-employees are not gonna sound off after being fired a week after one of the most polarizing figures on the internet gives them the boot just because he felt like it?

"New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.

Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter.

You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet."

Seems like Elon's got it covered 🤷‍♂️

The author leaves out certain details.There are catgeories of  speech labeled as hate speech with bipartisan consensus for example anti-semitism, racism. Elon musk wouldnt change Twitter policies on hate speech for such categories. However there are still many categories of speech which are considered  politically correct but were labeled as hate speech by left communist section of Twitter. These are the categories of speech which no longer would be labeled as hate speech  by Twitter under Musk.
