Twitter’s head of trust and safety quits: Report

Twitter’s head of trust and safety Ella Irwin told Reuters on Thursday that she has resigned from the social media company.

Irwin, who had joined Twitter in June 2022, took over as head of the trust and safety team in November when previous head Yoel Roth resigned. She oversaw content moderation.

Twitter has faced criticism for lax protections against harmful content since billionaire Elon Musk acquired it in October. Irwin’s departure comes as the platform has struggled to keep advertisers, with brands wary of appearing next to unsuitable content.
