近日，澳大利亚在线安全专员办公室eSafety发布的报告显示，特斯拉创始人马斯克在收购推特并将其更名为X后，解雇了八成从事信任与安全工作的工程师。报告显示，这一举动已对平台的安全性产生影响。
在马斯克接管推特前，该公司在全球有279名工程师从事信任与安全工作，到2023年5月底，这一数字下降至55人。同时，其信任与安全团队从4062人削减至2849人，全职内容审核团队也减半。eSafety表示，裁员导致推特对仇恨言论的响应速度降低20%，处理带有仇恨内容的私信速度降低70%。
此外，推特在解散“信任与安全委员会”后，未成立替代机构。马斯克接管公司前或后，推特在全球范围内没有专门负责仇恨行为问题的全职员工。此前，推特信任与安全主管Ella Irwin宣布辞职，但未透露辞职原因。

News content:
Recently, the Australian Online Safety Office released a report stating that Tesla founder Elon Musk fired more than 80% of the engineers involved in trust and security after acquiring Twitter and renaming it X. The report reveals that this move has already had an impact on the platform’s security.
Before Musk took over Twitter, the company had 279 engineers working on trust and security worldwide. By the end of May 2023, that number had dropped to 55. Meanwhile, the trust and security team shrank from 4,062 to 2,849, and the full-time content moderation team was halved. The eSafety office stated that the layoffs resulted in a 20% decrease in Twitter’s response rate to hate speech and a 70% decrease in the platform’s handling of private messages containing hateful content.
In addition, Twitter disbanded the “Trust and Safety Council” but did not establish a replacement institution. Before or after Musk’s takeover of the company, Twitter did not have any full-time employees specifically responsible for handling hateful behavior worldwide. Previously, Twitter’s head of trust and safety, Ella Irwin, announced her resignation but did not reveal the reason for her departure.
