Top Content Moderator at Twitter Resigns Amidst Daily Wire Controversy

Twitter’s Head of Trust and Safety, Ella Irwin, has resigned from her position amid controversy surrounding CEO Elon Musk’s decision to limit the reach of a transphobic film by The Daily Wire. Irwin, who joined Twitter in June 2022 and took over as head of trust and safety last fall under Musk’s ownership, confirmed her departure without providing specific details. This development follows Musk’s public criticism of Twitter’s content moderation decision and his support for the transphobic video. While the exact reasons for Irwin’s resignation remain undisclosed, Musk referred to it as “director related.” As Musk prepares to step down as CEO, Linda Yaccarino is slated to take over and focus on business operations, while Musk concentrates on product design and new technology.
