Not commenting on whether or not the situation is better or worse. But your comment is meaningless without also providing data showing the amount of CSAM on twitter over time. An article saying the team was axed doesn't tell us anything about the effect on the outcomes that team was responsible for. If you axed the team and the amount of CSAM increased, that tells one story. If you axed the team and the amount of CSAM stayed the same, that tells a different story. If you axed the team and the amount of CSAM dropped, that tells a different story.

I have seen reports that people who tried to get the "old" Twitter to take down child abuse images were able to get it to happen recently. If anything, the reports is that child abuse content on Twitter is down since the new regime. Which I think makes the completely opposite point of yours.

  You can find reports to support any opinion, which is why assertions are better supported with evidence. Elon Musk and anti-trafficking activist Eliza Bleu made a big deal about cleaning up Twitter back in December. Since then Ms Bleu seems to have spent more time mired in drama with former fans/supporters. It's not clear to me that there is any objective way to measure the success, failure, or efforts of Twitter in this area at present.
