X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, has slashed the number of people on its disinformation and election integrity team just weeks after it said it was hiring for new positions to help it guard against foreign interference.
The cuts, first reported by the tech-focused media outlet The Information, included Aaron Rodericks, the head of the team, said a person familiar with the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of concerns about professional consequences.
The person familiar with the cuts said four people had been let go — the entirety of X’s election integrity unit in its Dublin office. It’s unclear how many people remain on the team.
X did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
We calling for the arrest and execution of people we don’t agree with now? Noted. When the Nazis take over, I’m passing your name on.
How does this angry child have a single upvote?!
Maybe you’d change your mind if you were constantly being harassed by people online because of troll farms like this. Not to mention that places like that enable people to stalk and terrorize trans people IRL. Besides, I never called for executions, that’s you just putting words in my mouth. And by your own admission, I’m not surprised you’d collaborate with nazis either or that you actually believe that they could take over. Guess that speaks volumes about you.
