The exodus of staff following Elon Musk's $44bn Twitter takeover could mean 'big...disappointing headlines' during the tournament, according to Bruce Daisley, former Twitter vice-president of five years until 2020.
Players in the England men's team, including Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka, received almost 2,000 abusive Tweets after losing the Euro 2020 final to Italy, according to research from the Professional Footballer's Association.
Mr Daisley, who was based in the UK during his time at Twitter, added,"If you're reporting abuse, you want prompt action to be taken."I think if most people knew how few people used to work in [the content moderation] team, they would have been alarmed. "They wouldn't necessarily feel that the product was taking their concerns seriously. Now, the vast majority of those people have left."
Earlier this month, Elon Musk ran a poll ahead of his decision to allow former president Donald Trump back onto the platform. Twitter, at the time of the ban, said his account risked"further incitement of violence", following the storming of the US Capitol in January 2021., after previously having his account restricted for saying he would go"death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE".
In posts on Wednesday morning, Mr Musk appeared to mock detractors who have criticised his methods."Wasn't Twitter supposed to die by now or something?" he posted, followed by"Maybe we've gone to heaven/hell and don't know it."Mr Daisley was vice-president of Twitter for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa for five years until 2020but not freedom of reach. He's saying, 'we're going to leave that tweet up there, even if it is abusive'.
