X Reduces Trust and Safety Staff, Raises Concerns Over Hate Speech Monitoring
The Australian E-safety Commission has reported that X Corp, formerly known as Twitter, has laid off over 30 percent of its trust and safety staff. The reduction, attributed to Elon Musk's cost-cutting measures since taking over the platform, includes over 80 percent of X's safety engineers. The report highlights an increase in reported hate speech on the platform, but a decrease in the number of users banned for such behavior. Additionally, there has been a 45 percent reduction in trust and safety staff in the Asia Pacific region and a complete elimination of Australian-based staff, aligning with a legal challenge to X's terms and conditions under the Online Safety Act in Australia. The challenge questions whether X is meeting minimum safety standards set by the law. Ongoing updates are expected in this legal matter.
