Following a black Friday for many now ex-Twitter employees, a former exec at the platform has shared his two big concerns for Twitter and its remaining staff. Sunil Singhvi – former director…

’s first big move was to shell half the global workforce, meaning at least 3,000 staff lost their jobs – told the BBC of the challenge of having the high profile leader using the platform himself to share his his thoughts and ideas.

Singhvi also added his voice to those questioning how safe the platform can be for users with these immediate cuts to the workforce meaning moderation will go by the wayside in a bid to build the company, particularly as Musk has been so vocal about his love of free speech. “The people on that front line work incredibly hard, but it’s a very tough job,” said Singhvi. “Any reduction in that is going to result in a slowing down or some content being missed. “My concern for Twitter is that, if something erupts, something changes, if there’s a big story in the world, we’re in a position now where Twitter has less resources to guarantee the safety of its users, and to make sure that misinformation and abuse doesn’t spread like wildfire.

“This is a chance for the advertisers to say, can we make sure there are guardrails and that this platform is safe?”

My biggest concern is that they thought The Ol Blue Tick hierarchical order was 'community'. It was NOT. It was a form of Elitism....and they are going off their nut because it will change under Musk. I hope he creates a true community. Choose your Colour. The whole rainbow!
