Elon Musk has dramatically reduced the size of the Twitter Inc. team devoted to tackling child sexual exploitation on the platform, cutting the global team of experts in half and leaving behind an overwhelmed skeleton crew, people familiar with the matter said. Picture: BLOOMBERG
It comes as legislators in the EU and the UK are planning broad-reaching online safety rules that will require social media platforms to better protect children or face significant fines. The team — a mix of former law enforcement officers and child safety experts based in the US, Ireland and Singapore — was stretched before the cuts, working long hours to respond to user reports and legal requests, the people said.
While artificial intelligence-based tools can be useful for identifying images that have already been reviewed and categorised as child sexual exploitation material by law enforcement, human review is particularly important for understanding the nuances of grooming and other exploitative behaviours, identifying previously unknown abusive images and videos, and understanding regional differences in the law, the people said.
The defections were part of a broader exodus at Twitter’s trust and safety team, which left after Musk sent the ultimatum earlier in November, people familiar with the matter said previously. The company also lost a significant number of its employees who block foreign disinformation campaigns on the platform and entire swathes of Twitter’s audience have been left without content moderation, one of the people said.
In the UK, the Online Safety Bill gives regulators the power to fine platforms hosting user-generated content, including Twitter and other social media apps, as much as 10% of their revenue if they fail to police their platforms effectively.
