In December, Irwin continued to back up Musk in criticizing Twitter’s work from before he took over.
Musk said Twitter “refused to take action on child exploitation for years,” a statement Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey disputed.
Irwin tweeted: “I wish this was false but my experience this year supports this.”
Two employees who worked on child safety at Twitter said the team had been hit hard by attrition by the time Irwin joined,
but to say that it refused to take action on the problem was false.
Twitter used to maintain a world map with pushpins for the locations of the dozens of child predators
who got arrested as a result of cyber tips the company submitted.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children,
a federally designated clearinghouse for online child sexual abuse imagery that works with law enforcement agencies,
also refuted the idea that Twitter had not taken action on child exploitative content before Musk’s takeover.
“It’s been disheartening to see that rhetoric because we had relationships with people that really, truly cared about the issues,”
said Gavin Portnoy, a spokesman.
In her email, Irwin said she never claimed no work was being done on the issue — just that it was understaffed.
As Irwin prioritizes supporting Musk, a former company executive said they believed that the platform is on a path
to primarily serving the interests of the already-powerful, and those whose ideologies align with him.
“Twitter’s policies and practices in the trust and safety space were built around defending the rights of users around the world,
especially the most vulnerable and marginalized communities,” the former executive said.
“Since the acquisition, the company’s only actions have been to silence critics of Elon, to expose journalists and others to harm,
and to violate basic ethical standards and privacy laws.”

>I'd be shocked, SHOCKED! I tell ya, if Elon passes up the opportunity to prove them wrong.
Elon Finally Comes for Jack Dorsey!
Elon got into a Twitter exchange with Jack Dorsey yesterday regarding some unacceptable content on Twitter.
EM: "Its is a crime that they refused to take action on child exploitation for years!"
@jack: "this is false."
EM: "No, it is not."
"When Ella Erwin, who now runs Trust & Safety, joined twitter earlier this year,
almost no one was working on child safety.
She raised this with Ned & Prag, but they rejected here staffing request.
I made it top priority immediately."
