Even after cutting thousands of employees, Twitter has yet to subside the cut. Posts on a former public policy worker on Twitter and LinkedIn reveals that Twitter had axed half of its public policy team. TechCrunch reached both the former employee and Twitter for comment but could not immediately confirm the exact magnitude of these cuts.

Twitter was also letting go of some engineers on its infrastructure via email this Friday. Altogether, roughly 75% of Twitter employees have either chosen to or been let go since Elon Musk took control of the company in October.

And now it's my turn, too.

Yesterday was my last day at Twitter, as half of the remaining Public Policy team was cut from the company.

Theodora Skeadas, the public policy employee who posted that she was laid off, said that she was responsible for managing the Trust and Safety Council, which was dissolved last week.

The group, formed in 2016, contributed to content moderation and human rights issues, such as CSAM removal, suicide prevention, and safety online. Skeadas was also vocal on CSAM and mental health issues to be considered policies.

The Trust and Safety Council was disbanded in only over a week when three key members walked out and published an open letter.

We are writing to announce our resignation from Twitter's Trust and Safety Council because it is clear from research evidence that, contrary to claims by Elon Musk, the safety and wellbeing of Twitter's users are on the decline," the letter said.

Comprised of approximately 100 independent researchers and activists, the remaining council members received notice that the group would be dissolved as the system no longer appeared to be the best means for Twitter to receive external insight.

Musk declared the CSAM problem to be "Priority #1," yet he has taken zero action on this promise. Among other promises he made to a panel of civil rights leaders, he asserted he would not lift his own ban upon those users until he established some process to do so fairly; he did not.
