The Chief Security Officer of Twitter has resigned.
The new addition to Twitter's position hasn't been a year yet. Within that time, Ela Irwin, the second head of the platform's 'Trust and Safety' division, has resigned from her job. She emailed her resignation letter to Twitter last Saturday (June 1st). In response, Twitter sent her a 'broken heart emoji.'
According to BBC reports, when the former CEO, Joel Roth, resigned in November, he was made the second head of the safety division. He was interested in the subject of Twitter's content policy. Since buying Twitter, there has been an allegation of increasing hateful content on the platform. However, he denied the claim and mainly wanted to give everyone a chance to speak.
In order to find false information, Twitter launched the 'Community Notes' feature for everyone in December. Through this feature, users will be able to directly inform Twitter about false information or news. Previously, Community Notes was known as 'Birdwatch,' which was a fact-checking mechanism for Twitter users. This feature has now been expanded to include photos and videos. As a result, users can now report false photos and videos on Twitter.
According to the reports of technology website Engadget, the trend of creating and sharing photos and videos through artificial intelligence or AI has increased on social media platforms. However, this has led to many false photos and videos on these platforms.
Recently, a false photo of Donald Trump created using AI went viral on various social media platforms. In order to reduce such false content on their platform, Twitter has included photos and videos in the Community Notes feature.
Not everyone will be able to use the Community Notes feature. Accounts that have not violated Twitter's policies and accounts that were opened at least six months ago will have access to this feature. In addition, users' phone numbers will also be verified. Users will have the opportunity to use this feature on the web version as well as the app version for Android and iOS operating systems.
Twitter will verify the information provided by users. Later, they will be given a score. If they receive a score of 5, they will be able to write Community Notes directly. However, if a user's note receives multiple 'Note Helpful' ratings from other users, the privilege of writing Community Notes will be revoked.
