Twitter’s New Head of Trust and Safety Offers to Partner with Controversial Anti-Trafficking Group

Operation Underground Railroad has a long track record of misrepresenting its work; now, it could be partnering with Elon Musk’s Twitter.

you get rid of the people at Twitter working to counter CSAM, fail to show up for a NCMEC roundtable, float partnering with Operation Underground Rescue of all people, and claim you care about child safety? FFS

@qjurecic well this is all appalling.

@dwillner some of the chaos is funny in a bleak sort of way, but this part of it is sickening

@qjurecic Indeed. There’s of course plenty to criticize about how T&S teams work, but literally everyone I’ve ever met who deals with CSAM takes it deathly seriously and no one sees it as a place to score points. It’s a sacrosanct obligation. I’m pretty hard to disturb but this level of instrumentalization of the issue is new and really grim.

@dwillner Thank goodness the head of T&S is focused on the important things! https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/12/15/twitter-journalists-suspended-musk/
