Twitter gives EU Justice Commissioner 'commitments' on moderation after job cuts

The European Commissioner for Justice has warned tech chiefs in Dublin about their responsibilities following major job losses at Twitter.

Commissioner Didier Reynders got a "voluntary commitment" from Dublin's Twitter chiefs to improve moderation at a meeting earlier today. The percentage of flagged content being removed from Facebook and Twitter has been in decline in recent years.

The significant cuts to jobs in Twitter are a "concern" to the Justice Commissioner as he fears moderation rates will decline further. Twitter announced they were cutting half of their 7,500 employees while Meta announced 11,000 jobs would be lost.
