@elonmusk Elon, Great chat yesterday, As you heard overwhelmingly from senior advertisers on the call, the issue concerning us all is content moderation and its impact on BRAND SAFETY/SUITABILITY. You say you’re committed to moderation, but you just laid off 75% of the moderation team!
@elonmusk Advertisers are not being manipulated by activist groups, they are being compelled by established principles around the types of companies they can do business with. These principles include an assessment of the platforms commitment to brand safety and suitability.
@elonmusk That includes the trustworthiness of the leadership team and the behavior of the CEO.
You claimed yesterday that you are deeply committed to Content Moderation, yet today you’ve eliminated the vast majority of people who did that work for Twitter.
How do we reconcile these?
@elonmusk So for all the replies I received that content moderation = denial of freedom of speech (it doesn’t),what do you say about the fact that the “chief twit” just blocked me for exercising mine? Yesterday, @elonmusk solicited ?s from marketers, today he’s blocking those who ask them.
@elonmusk @Twitter @TwitterMktg Update: thanks to support from journalists, advertising industry colleagues and a couple of friends inside of @twitter, @elonmusk just unblocked me. Thank you, to all. I genuinely love this platform and want to see it thrive even though I disagree with recent personnel decisions
