Twitter's former head of trust and safety has fled his home due to an escalation in threats resulting from Elon Musk's campaign of criticism against him, a person familiar with the matter told CNN.

Twitter’s former head of trust and safety has fled his home due to an escalation in threats resulting from Elon Musk’s campaign of criticism against him, a person familiar with the matter told CNN on Monday.

However, things took a dark turn over the weekend when Musk appeared to endorse a tweet that baselessly accused Roth of being sympathetic to pedophilia — a common trope used by conspiracy theorists to attack people online. A person familiar with Roth’s situation told CNN threats made against the former Twitter employee escalated exponentially after Musk engaged in the pedophilia conspiracy theory. It is not the first time Roth has found himself in the public eye.

mess with the bull, you get the horns

Mr. pedophile is having a rough week🥺

Playing the victim card. I don't believe a bit of it.

The irony that “democracy” be in that photo.

Now he knows what it's like to be a Supreme Court Justice.

elonmusk careless as fuck with this one…I mean I get he has money but damn he’s going to get someone hurt.

Good

So all the former employees, famous ppl and the others verified by one or another reason could be twitter-blackmailed if he isnt happy or feel a threat, the tweets dont get deleted, he can dig out anything, and not only from some web archive,locally,so why theres delete option?

😂😂

I don’t care who you are or who your boss/employer may be, NOBODY should have to flee their home because of threats of any kind! If you did something illegal, the the sanctioned law in your area should be told and they should handle the issue. NO ONE is above the law.

Why run these cowards are all talk.

Sure it wasn’t because he advocates child molestation?

'person familiar with the matter' lol

Another fake hit piece on Musk.

stop supporting child predators YoelTheGroomer

What exactly is a 'campaign of criticism' that doesn't involve what the media does on a regular basis to people it doesn't like?

Mexican people arround of my home spy all day and violent my privacy life whit technical or support of the ministry, military tools, read my mind and see my body, and use civil people for attack in Guadalupe nuevo leon mexico

Fear of being silenced is a terrible thing. If you involve yourself in silencing fellow citizens in a Democracy for ideological not legal reasons then there will be a negative reaction and you will be called out to account for your actions. But it must not be an unlawful reaction

Who paid you guys for this piece?

Democracy is a powerful belief, fiddle with it at your peril.

Isn't this the same guy that refused to ban lefties for doxy conservatives? Ironic

Winni i przestępcy zawsze uciekają 🤦‍♂️🤣

CNN TO THE MAX!!!!!

We support peaceful protests.

Pattern

Poor little pathetic man

So sad 😂

You CharlesBritto10 .

He incited violence on himself for banning a sitting president on a free speech platform for the political agenda of companies like CNN.

Groomer

More gaslighting. But if true he deserves it. Actually Jail would be better

This is the guy that let (conservative) judges addresses be posted. He deserves to be in jail for his dishonest and disgusting behavior.

He should be in jail.

They have taken SahandNourMohammadZadeh to the death pole 3 times to get him to confess to something he has not done!! He is accused of 'waging war against god' same as MohsenShekari and he's facing death now. Please don't let them kill him too.

I wonder why Elon hasn't gotten any major consequences for his criticisms, the majority seems to be fake.

Stop the Islamic Republic from murdering SahandNourMohammadZadeh by execution. The regime is preparing his execution. IR has started process of mass execution of protesters as it did in the 80s. West must stop negotiations & support Iranians in any way possible. MahsaAmini

MahanSadrat is another innocent Iranian who may be killed any minute by the Mullahs to scare us. The Islamic Republic does not have a judicial system with due process of law. Each of these executions is done on a whim. The world must act NOW to stop them. SayTheirNames

What criticism? Who is chasing him out of his home? The only wide-scale violence I have seen has been by the radical left and Antifa. Most people have no idea who you are talking about

MahanSadrat, an Iranian protester is at the risk of imminent execution. Shout his name. Be his voice. Tweet about him. Mention his name under posts of your senates, parliament members and prime minister SayTheirNames

If you are going to tell a story, tell the whole story.

I call bullshit!!

MahanSadrat (20) sentenced to death for burning a motorcycle during iranprotests . H was charged with Muharebe (enemy of the God). Mahan has denied the charges but is convicted without evidence and right to appoint his attorney. SayTheirNames

So they just released his words is all

Pedo is on the run, no sympathy here

This article does not cite a single threat against Yoel.

Yoel Roth Teachers, students.

Just pretend it was ANTIFA. Then you’ll think the threats were great

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. He thought no one can catch him.

It’s not a “campaign of criticism.” It’s a campaign of bringing truth to light, which was held in darkness by yoyoel The guy messed with people for a living. He shouldn’t be threatened with violence, but he should def be ostracized and removed from society.

Run,commy,run

Have you reported on Musk needingsecurity and having to cancel public events because leftist Looney threats? Of course you haven't

“Campaign of Criticism”… the horror.

Why hasnt cnn covered the twitter exposure?

Good.. keep ‘em on the run

Remember folks it only matters when it effects the democrats

rtyson82 The kid never should have been head of trust and safety. He’s got bigger issues than leaving his home. Over a year ago he talked about being “traumatized” by being spoken of by T when Twitter deplatformed T. That says it all with this guy. Pathetic individual.

So no law enforcement sources.....

Is it criticism, or an unveiling of a garbage person?

Unacceptable. This man deserves every criticism he gets but threatening people is beyond the remit of free speech. If crimes have been committed then he gets a fair trial and hopefully justice.

Good! He's a pedophile creep.

'Trust & safety' for whom? Good riddance

BREAKING

Weird. Just a few months ago liberals told us threatening Supreme Court justices and their families, and forcing them out of their homes, was “free speech” and is to be encouraged.

Poor thing

Oh to bad now you can get a taste of what conservatives experience when they don’t agree with the Democrats who live in lala land

elonmusk is another Trump! He’s inciting violence! Somebody should stop him!

He should just tell them it’s a “nothingburger.”

Exposing the truth and being transparent isn’t a campaign against anyone. Corrupt scumbags who secretly commit violations & crimes aren’t victims of those facts. The posts are his own words by his hand. Like with LibsofTikTok, they simply repost the posts of loony liberal fools

He was a badass as long as no one could see what he was doing.

You're threatening Elon with all these constant attacks. It's dangerous and undermines our democracy. See how that works......it's the Ying to your Yang. Balance and freedom.

😆

Im sure he’s an idealogue

Nobody hates more then fake news stations?

Did everyone notice that instead of defending the actual words of this guy they just tossed out the term ‘conspiracy’ without context of the accusations?

This guy?

Elon Musk's campaign of criticism? As usual fake news gets it wrong, all he did was use Roth's own words against him and the same with all the other crooked actors. He released things THEY said and exposed their censorship. Hopefully left wing bias is coming to and end.

'campaign of criticism'

WHY ARE YOU LIBIOTS DEFENDING A PEDO?!?!? All Elon did to the sicko was hold up a mirror and show the world what he was! Unbelievable, you people have lost all morals!!! Can’t even agree to expose a pedo?! Wow!

lol, lmao even

sounds like a good Ole case of FAFO to me

You should investigate that creeps child sex fantasy tweets

It’s almost....like he’s got something to hide...

apple

Check his closet. He might just went back and hiding in his closet.

defending a pedo apologist? Tsssk.

I am calling bull on this, he's playing the victim!

Aww cry me an fn river 🤣🤣🤡

Are you sure it wasn’t because he got outed as a pedophile?

Man, you just can't make this stuff up! He's a victim? He's being persecuted? People don't like pedophiles...does that hit a little too close to home? Oh my! The bad people are after me, I must run. He's gone from top dog to bottom dog and that must be quite an adjustment! 😉

Does anyone believe that?

'Twitter Files'? What's that? I get all my news from CNN and I've never heard of it..😒

So, you won't report on the actual twittergate but you will make up fake stories about it. 🤡🤡🤡

harden up princess FFS!

*What Twitter files?' Said every viewer of CNN & MSNBC

Musk should be the one scared.

He is a fucking criminal.

Good.

Is CNN also in support of banning Trump but not Putin?

Very sad.

Right on cue

This guy was okay with Trump being banned but not the President of Russia's account while they commit atrocities in Ukraine. Probably well deserved.

What a joke. Someone is lying...wait, that's what comes out of CNN daily

Good please meet it up!! All the communists groomers need to be held accountable

You are fake news!

Is this deserved? Did he care when he did it to others?

He's a pedophile so yes he should be hunted down like the dog he is.

Not a campaign of criticism, a release of factual information, guess you reap what you sow..

Hmmmmm he never condemned cancel culture that destroyed lives of people and families. Had death threats thrown at them like they were nothing. But now it’s a problem since he is being targeted. Give me a break

He’s a pedophile. Did you read his thesis?

Your “victim” ladies and gentlemen:

Good he deserves it

Sucks when the shoe is on the other foot doesn’t it?

Probs never happened.

So not resulting from what he said about children?

Karma is a bitch isn’t she?

It disgusts me to see that piece of human trash sitting in front of the word democracy.

Good. He like child porn

ElonMuskIsATroll using Twitter as a platform to incite hate and unrest while claiming to be a defender of the FirstAmendment. The Hypocrisy of an EmbarrassinglyLaughableOverratedNarcissist.

Yeah right

LOL. He went out if his way to use his position at Twitter to impose his political preferences. All Musk has done is exposed the thruth.

He is probably fleeing from prosecution since protests outside someone's house is not in anyway dangerous according to Biden.

If you think Elon is guilty and want justice, leave Twitter. If a hundred million leaves Twitter tonight, you’ve made an impact. If you choose to stay here, he will continue to make money at your expense.

Cry me a river.....

Supreme Court Justices were denied protection and they are more important that a Twitter exc.

Fled to avoid persecution.

It’s presented like a western

Why? Is Mad Maxine Waters outside, telling everyone to draw a crowd and let them know he's not welcome

Campaign of criticism or of truth? A simple search will reveal why people are upset with this man's views on queer teenagers having access to porn and adult dating sites while being head of Trust and safety 🤦‍♀️ Threats are unacceptable but twitter users' anger is understandable

It's not cancel culture, it's consequence culture 🤣🤣🤣🤣

No call to action was ever made. Valid, factual criticism and actual quotes and documentation only. People tend to get pretty heated when they find out they're being lied to and their civil rights taken away. And now, on to your next set of lies, CNN?

Well when you do very bad things, bad things sometimes come back your way. Doesn't make it right. But didn't say anything when it's was Brett Kavanaugh. It's not hard to be a good person.

why isnt he in jail yet

TrueFactsStated He should SUE

iancapstick this guy must feel like a supreme court justice i would think

I can't find my tiny violin

Is he the one that tweeted stuff that madehim sound like a pedophile?

Poor baby!!!

Boo freaking hoo

Well, he will soon be safe behind bars awaiting trial for treason..

Not at all surprised that this is what cnn would focus on - despite the REAL SHOCKING and alarming threat to our first amendment and democracy. Hope he is safe under the first rock he finds. Cnn you still suck.

Made up story to draw sympathy.

Karma is a bitch.

Just because they said it does not mean it true.

Russian disinformation.

He fled media scrutiny. Nothing more. If not, let’s hear about the arrests.

Oh look Lying CNN is back to sources.... told Timmy's mom who told Sally who told bill who told Mikes'sister aunt . Didn't you learn from the Catholic kids to stop lying.

Literally fake story so that he can use it in a lawsuit later.

Some people are going to be upset. What they did was very unethical. Anyone who has followed this knows that what Yoel Roth and others did was so unethical that its likely that Roth will have a very hard time finding employment even with a liberal company.

You didn't care when Supreme Court justices were forced to run so let's not start now....

Fauci’s mistake was closing churches 😳

Not surprising that this is what they choose to cover. Not the suppressionism, bias, deception or pedo-relations he took part in.

Maybe he can feel how the court justices felt when CNN encouraged people to protest at their houses. He put himself in that spot when he thought he knew better what to publish instead of just the truth!!

I don’t feel bad for him

DOXed...WWAAAAAAAA! What's good for the goose is good for the gander!

right, it was Elon that wrote his college thesis. how did we miss that critical detail

So this guy was treated the same way as justices Barrett and Kavanaugh?

Ooo f off cnn

Good

I don't feel bad for him at all🤷‍♂️

Do right fear not!

And just think SCOTUS members had to do the same when death threats from leftist extremists started rolling in..and guess what not a single Dem cared 🙄

Awwwwwww poor guy

Good,jk

Now he know how it feel to be conservative

Terrible headline. It’s due to his controversial and very possibly illegal actions while at Twitter.

Good - flee to Russia or Iran....

Good

More 🐂💩

JoshKraushaar *A person familiar with…* 🤡

Awwww, consequences for your actions.

So what……..Payback is hell

Lies cultist

He's a groomer and criminal power abuser. yoyoel

The Guy is a pedophile stop painting him as a victime

“A person familiar with the matter…”. Lololololol

Weak 😂

Not buying it! Wish him no harm, but he’s a awful person that abused his power!

CNN has gone from 'according to sources' to 'a person familiar with the matter.' Am I the only one paying attention to words?

JoshKraushaar LOL. Bullshit.

A campaign of...quoting his public statements directly and at length.

Awe poor baby….no longer a lil tyrant ….

Did ya make a big deal out of the fact Sarah Huckabee was harassed. Or ther threats against the Supreme Court Justices?
