On Monday, the media outlets like CNN and the Washington Post reported that Roth (along with his family) ran away after his academic writing regarding children and sexual activity was misrepresented by his tweets about Musk. Roth, as Twitter’s chief of Trust and Safety Council, has been engaged in the company’s several decisions dealing with the removal of the posts and the suspension of accounts.
His interaction with the rest of the officials of Twitter has been posted in the previous days as included in what Musk named “the Twitter files,” comprising several internal documents were shared by Musk and were disseminated in the company through journalists such as Bari Weiss and Matt Taibbi. In the previous week, 3 Council participants resigned while referring to the concerns related to Twitter consumers’ safety.
Musk’s Remarks Attract Criticism from Former CEO
Anne Collier, a council member, shared in a tweet that the research evidence clarified – as opposed to the claims of Elon Musk – that Twitter customers’ well-being and safety are declining. The Twitter CEO accused the council participants of denying to act against child exploitation. This claim by Musk was formerly declared false by Jack Dorsey (the former CEO of Twitter).
Musk’s recent criticism of Anthony Fauci (the well-known health official of the United States) has additionally attracted a scolding. The press secretary of the White House, Karine Jean-Pierre, declared the remarks of the Twitter CEO as disgusting as well as dangerous.
