I do not see how they can say they still prioritize broad safety when there is reportedly only one person left on the child safety team.

  Well, whatever the team was doing before, it seems like their effectiveness has increased quite a bit without the missing team members. In the past, exploitation victims had to literally sue Twitter to take down explicit material, because a "review" could not "find a violation of [their] policies" [1]. Now "the three biggest hashtags used by child abusers selling child sexual abuse material on Twitter have virtually been eliminated" according to a human trafficking survivor advocate [2]. They have also made it easier for users to flag such content.

    It should be noted that planning to take down those hashtags started months ago, and may not be to Elon's credit here.

  One person for the Asia-Pacific region[1], not one person in total. [1]: https://www.wired.com/story/twitter-child-sexual-abuse-material/ https://www.wired.com/story/twitter-child-sexual-abuse-mater...

    So one person for 3 billion people. Got it.
