Twitter’s head of trust and safety has resigned, an executive at the social media platform confirmed. Yoel Roth is among high-level leaders who have departed Twitter after billionaire Elon Musk took over and announced deep job cuts and other dire moves.

“Sorry that this is my first email to the whole company, but there is no way to sugarcoat the message,” wrote Musk, before he described afor businesses like Twitter that rely almost entirely on advertising to make money.

The employee also said Musk appeared to downplay employee concerns about how a pared-back Twitter workforce was handling its obligations to maintain privacy and data security standards, saying as CEO of Tesla he knew how that worked.trying to assuage major advertisers Wednesday, his most expansive public comments about Twitter’s direction since he closed a $44 billion deal to buy the social media platform late last month and dismissed its top executives.

Musk told employees in the email that “remote work is no longer allowed” and the road ahead is “arduous and will require intense work to succeed,” and that they will need to be in the office at least 40 hours per week. “Twitter made huge strides towards a more rational internal security model and backsliding will put them in trouble with the FTC” and other regulators in the U.S. and Europe, Stamos said.

In an email to employees seen by the AP, Musk said “Twitter will do whatever it takes to adhere to both the letter and spirit of the FTC consent decree.” Those new procedures include an exhaustive list of disclosures Twitter must make to the FTC when introducing new products and services — particularly when they affect personal data collected on users.

Roth? Fornicate him. Another Communist stool pigeon.

Should have happened sooner. Nothing but a real ego maniac thinking he had the right to censor anyone. The previous Yo yo Dorsey, alias one half of the Smith Brothers Cough Drops should get a shave.

He should be arrested for tampering with a national election.

notbatmanyet i am definitely NOT going to pay to use twitter.... it's simply not worth THAT much to me... I have more important things that need my money's attention.

Were they caught in the selling checkmarks scandal? Asking for a friend...

JeriLRyan This is another staff cut. A lot of people living out of state won't be able to do that with only 40 hours notice.

Musk single-handedly ruining twitter. Called that

Perfect!! 👏

You mean this guy? Good riddance.

The world’s richest man has taken possession of a global social media platform used by the world’s journalists, scientists, governments, private citizens, businesses, religions, militaries and health/emergency services to share all vital information—It’s going as you might expect

Lead Censor but to call him a leader is bit of a stretch.

Good gravy.

He really knows how to boost morale. 😂😂😂

Ya think? You know what’s next, bankruptcy.

Byeeeeeee

Really. AP! Is this news?

Just another minister of untruth to get the axe.

If you’re exceptional there’s no reason to stay there. elonmusk doesn’t know a damn thing about leading a company like Twitter.

Wonder why it took so long to resign. Shouldn’t have expected anything from the beginning.

Don’t let the Door hit u on the way out

NYCMayor ended remote work for city employees a year ago.

Finally, good riddance

Bye Yoel.

💁‍♂️

Maybe because Musk has no idea what he's doing

Soon he will be ending all work at Twitter because the entire website is gonna crash. 😂 Mastodon is cool tho.

Probably 'cos he was asking them to go back to the office and not work from home.
