Trust and Safety at Twitter is now centered around Elon Musk's whims twitterisgoinggreat.com/#twitters-trus

Screenshot: Bloomberg reports that several essential processes and checks on power at Twitter have been removed by Elon Musk's new Head of Trust and Safety Emma Irwin.

The piece describes the dissolution of a group that previously provided a check on executive overreach, also confirms that the account run by antifascist activist Chad Loder, which was banned from the platform in November, was suspended by the CEO himself.

"In Twitter’s internal system, a note read, 'Suspension: direct request from Elon Musk,' according to a screenshot viewed by Bloomberg."

The article also quotes a former Twitter executive saying

“Twitter’s policies and practices in the trust and safety space were built around defending the rights of users around the world, especially the most vulnerable and marginalized communities... Since the acquisition, the company’s only actions have been to silence critics of Elon, to expose journalists and others to harm, and to violate basic ethical standards and privacy."
