Twitter’s head of trust and safety Ella Irwin resigns from her role at the platform.
Twitter’s head of trust and safety Ella Irwin resigned from her role at the Elon Musk-owned social media platform.on Thursday, served for roughly seven months and declined to provide a reason for her decision.
Irwin ran the Twitter team that fought disinformation, removed offensive content, and helped maintain Twitter’s platform integrity. But Twitter has experienced significant challenges in stemming offensive and abusive content under Irwin’s tenure and since Musk began serving as CEO Musk had previously said, for example, that fighting child sex abuse material, or CSAM, was “Priority #1” for the platform. Reporting fromin January found that illegal content was still freely circulating on the platform.
Irwin’s departure comes at a turbulent time for the social media network, which was grappling with the dissemination of a conservative website’s purported documentary on transgender people. The video was uploaded to Twitter’s platform on Thursday but was “visibility limited,” preventing users from retweeting or commenting on it.
Twitter’s trust and safety team — the unit that Irwin ran until earlier this week — would have had responsibility for limiting the spread of the post. Irwin’s predecessor, Yoel Roth, quit just two weeks into Musk’s ownership.Twitter since October 2022 and has described himself as a champion of free speech, called the tagging a “mistake.” but as of Friday, had not lifted the visibility limitations.
