Amid the ongoing legal battle with Elon Musk, Twitter is merging its team for fighting misinformation and harmful content with the team that looks after removing spam accounts.
As per ANI, the social media firm will call this new group “Health Products and Services (HPS).”
Twitter confirmed the development and said the company’s VP of Product Ella Irwin will lead this team. However, it didn’t provide any details about how these teams will work together and how it will impact misinformation and spam on the platform.
“…reorganization reflects our continued commitment to prioritize and focus our teams in pursuit of our goals. Stopping bad actors, and creating more transparency around how we support a healthy platform, while also helping promote and encourage diverse thoughts and conversations continues to be foundational to everything we do and how we organize our teams,” the company said in a statement.
This news comes on the heels of the revelation that Zatko filed a whistleblower complaint against his former employer. In it, he said Twitter has “extreme, egregious deficiencies” when it comes to security and that it prioritizes user growth over cleaning up spam.
