From PC Mag: Twitter abruptly dissolved its Trust and Safety Council on Monday night, marking the latest in a series of tumultuous moves at the company since Elon Musk’s takeover in October.
Members of the council, which formed in 2016 and comprised various civil rights organizations, academics, and online safety advocates, received an email announcing the dissolution less than an hour before a scheduled Zoom meeting with company executives, The Washington Post reports.
The council’s page on Twitter’s website—which explained that the collection of experts advised the platform on issues including suicide prevention, child sexual exploitation, and dehumanization—has now been deleted.
