Twitter's owner Elon Musk<\/a> has pledged the platform will not become a \"hellscape,\" but experts fear a staff exodus following mass layoffs may have devastated its ability to combat misinformation<\/a>, impersonation and data theft. Twitter下放到运动描述为一个粪坑的谎言和仇恨言论后公司最近裁员削减一半的7500名员工和假账户数量激增之后的拙劣的推出支付验证系统。 Twitter的所有者Elon Musk平台已承诺将不会成为一个“hellscape”,但专家担心员工流失后大规模裁员可能摧毁其战斗能力错误信息、模拟和数据盗窃。
Twitter devolved into what campaigners described as a cesspit of falsehoods and hate speech after recent layoffs cut half the company's 7,500 staff and fake accounts proliferated following its botched rollout of a paid verification system.
Further throwing the influential platform into disarray -- and raising doubt about its very existence -- reports said hundreds of employees chose to depart the company Thursday in defiance of an ultimatum from Musk<\/a>.
\"The huge number of layoffs and resignations raises serious questions about content moderation and the security of user data,\" Cheyenne Hunt-Majer, from the nonprofit Public Citizen, told AFP.
\"It is imperative that (US regulators) act with urgency as users could have their sensitive data exploited or even stolen given the lack of sufficient staff that remain to adequately protect it.\"
The hashtag #RIPTwitter<\/a> gained huge traction on the site after resignations poured in from employees who chose \"no\" to Musk's demand that they either be \"extremely hardcore\" or exit the company.
Twitter has plunged into turmoil as Musk, a self-professed free speech absolutist, seeks to shake up the money-losing company after his blockbuster $44 billion buyout late last month.
The site's content moderation teams -- largely outsourced contractors that combat misinformation -- have been axed and a number of engineers fired after openly criticizing Musk on Twitter or on an internal messaging board, according to reports and tweets.
Wary brands have paused or slowed down ad spending -- Twitter's biggest revenue source -- after a spike in racist and antisemitic trolling on the platform.
\"Misinformation super spreaders\" -- or untrustworthy accounts peddling falsehoods -- saw a 57 percent jump in engagement in the week after Musk's acquisition of Twitter, according to a survey by the nonprofit watchdog group NewsGuard.
\"Elon Musk has swiftly decimated Twitter's ability to maintain the platform's integrity, health and safety,\" said Jessica Gonzalez, co-chief executive officer at the nonpartisan group Free Press.
\"If there is one lesson that all social-media platforms must take away from this debacle, it's that without protecting users from hate and lies you have no company at all.\"
In a response to critics, Musk on Friday indicated a new direction for content moderation on the site.
While not being totally removed from the site, Musk said that \"negative\/hate tweets\" will be \"max deboosted (and) demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter.\"
\"You won't find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet,\" he added.
But his plan fell on skeptical ears.
\"We could certainly see a spike in misinformation, hate speech, and other objectionable content because of Musk's latest moves,\" Zeve Sanderson, executive director of the New York University's Center for Social Media and Politics, told AFP.
\"Content moderation is a lot harder to do without people around to actually do content moderation.\"
Potentially adding to the pressure: Musk on Saturday restored the Twitter account of Donald Trump<\/a>, 22 months after the then-president was suspended over the US Capitol riot by his supporters seeking to overturn the 2020 election result.
In a letter to the Federal Trade Commission<\/a>, a regulatory agency, a group of Democratic senators blamed Musk for introducing \"alarming\" new features that undermined safety despite warnings that they would be \"abused for fraud, scams and dangerous impersonation.\"
\"Users are already facing the serious repercussions of this growth-at-all-costs strategy,\" they wrote in the letter published Thursday, noting the recent spike in fake accounts impersonating companies, politicians and celebrities.
Among the victims was drugmaker Eli Lilly, whose stock price nosedived -- erasing billions in market capitalization -- after a parody account stamped with a verification tag purchased for $8 tweeted that insulin was being made available for free.
Last week, Twitter disabled sign-ups for the contentious feature known as Twitter Blue<\/a>, with reports saying it had been temporarily disabled to help address impersonation issues -- but not before several brands took a hit.
Given the apparent vulnerabilities, digital experts have warned activists, particularly in autocratic countries, of the increased risk of identity theft or their private messages falling into the hands of hackers.
\"Around the world, Twitter is used to organize against oppression,\" said Hunt-Majer.
\"If Musk's mismanagement kills it, that would be a significant blow to freedom of information and, frankly, human rights in general on a global scale.\"

Twitter混乱,员工流失加剧的安全问题
Twitter下放到运动描述为一个粪坑的谎言和仇恨言论后公司最近裁员削减一半的7500名员工和假账户数量激增之后的拙劣的推出支付验证系统。
进一步把影响力的平台为混乱和提高怀疑它的存在——报道说数百名员工选择离开公司周四无视最后通牒麝香。
”(美国监管机构)必须立即采取行动,因为用户可以有自己的敏感数据利用甚至被盗由于缺乏足够的员工保持充分保护它。”
的标签# RIPTwitter在网站上获得了巨大的牵引力辞职后倒在员工选择“不”麝香的要求,他们要么是“极其核心”或退出公司。
Twitter已经陷入动荡,麝香,自称是言论自由的专制,寻求重组亏损公司后大片440亿美元收购上个月底。
网站的内容审核团队,主要外包承包商已被裁掉的错误信息,和一些工程师解雇后公开批评麝香在Twitter上或在一个内部消息,据报道,微博。
警惕品牌已经暂停或减缓广告支出——Twitter最大的收入来源——后种族主义和反犹主义的平台上。
“错误信息超级传播者”——或不可靠的账户兜售谎言跃升了57%参与下周麝香收购Twitter,由非营利组织监督机构的一项调查显示NewsGuard。乐动扑克
“Elon Musk迅速摧毁Twitter维护平台的完整性的能力,健康和安全,”杰西卡·冈萨雷斯说,首席执行官的无党派组织新闻自由。
“如果有一个教训,所有社交媒体平台必须从这个失败,那就是没有保护用户免受仇恨和谎言你没有公司。”
在回应批评,麝香周五表示内容节制在网站上的新方向。
虽然不是完全从网站删除,麝香说,“负面/恨tweet”将“马克斯降(和)使停止通用,所以没有广告或其他收入Twitter。”
”你不会找到这条除非特别找出来,没有不同于其他互联网,”他补充道。
但他的计划持怀疑态度。
“我们当然可以看到错误信息激增,仇恨言论,和其他令人反感的内容,因为麝香的最新举措,“Zeve桑德森,纽约大学的执行董事的社会媒体和政治中心,告诉法新社。
“内容审核要困难得多,周围没有人做内容节制。”
可能增加了压力:麝香周六恢复的Twitter账户唐纳德·特朗普,22个月后,当时的总统是由他的支持者暂停在美国国会山防暴寻求推翻2020年的选举结果。
在一封给联邦贸易委员会监管机构一批民主党参议员指责麝香引入“令人担忧”的新功能,破坏安全尽管警告,他们将“滥用的欺诈、诈骗和危险的模拟。”
“用户已经面临着这种“不惜一切代价追求经济增长策略的严重后果,”他们写道在周四发表的这封信,注意近期的假账户冒充公司、政客和名人。
受害者包括制药商礼来公司,其股票价格暴跌——擦除数十亿美元的市值——模仿账户后印有验证标记为8美元购买推免费取得的胰岛素。
上周,Twitter有争议的特性称为禁用注册Twitter的蓝色,报告说它被暂时禁用帮助解决模拟问题——但不是之前几个品牌遭受打击。
数字专家警告说由于明显的漏洞,积极分子,特别是在专制国家,身份盗窃的风险增加或他们的私人信息落入黑客之手。
“在世界各地,Twitter是用于组织反对压迫,“Hunt-Majer说。
“如果麝香的管理不善杀死它,这将是一个重大打击,信息自由,坦率地说,人权在全球范围内。”
