That's an interesting problem. But I'm not seeing much upside for you and there's a high chance of being laid off before you get situated.

- wpietri 10y agoThe upside for me is mainly personal. I believe Twitter to be an important platform; it's basically become our global public square. But abuse is limiting the depth and richness of the conversation by suppressing speech and driving people off of Twitter. I did anti-abuse work in the early days of web communities and it's something I care about a lot. So the upside for me is the possibility that I can look back in 3-5 years and say, "Wow, our team made a big difference to a lot of Twitter users. They are now participating in ways that weren't safe for them before." I expect that would also have significant positive impact on Twitter as a business. More users and more conversation benefit them, as does maintaining their position as a unique medium for connection. But personally, I'm mainly motivated by impact. As Tron says, "I fight for the users."
