Head of trust and safety Yoel Roth
Yoel Roth, who has been reassuring users that Twitter was still moderating hateful conduct and misinformation, left the company on Thursday, Reuters reported. Roth was Twitter’s head of trust and safety.
According to Platformer, the tech newsletter helmed by Casey Newton, Roth was a Twitter veteran who had been at the company for seven years. On his LinkedIn profile, Roth explained that he was in charge of Twitter’s policy and threat investigation teams tasked with dealing with security, authenticity, and content issues. Since Musk’s takeover, Roth had been largely seen as the calm voice reassuring users (and advertisers) that it was still taking content moderation seriously.
Roth did not make any public announcement about his departure. However, his Twitter profile describes him as “Former Head of Trust & Safety at Twitter.”
