Elon Musk has axed entire departments at Twitter in his exercise to deeply trim its workforce by half and human rights, accessibility, AI ethics and curation and communications teams were hit the hardest.
Former Twitter Human Rights Counsel Shannon Raj Singh tweeted that the company’s human rights team was axed on Friday. The team worked to protect users facing human rights violations around the globe, including activists, journalists and people affected by conflicts like the war in Ukraine.
„Yesterday was my last day at Twitter: the entire Human Rights team has been cut from the company,“ Singh posted.
„I am enormously proud of the work we did to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights, to protect those at-risk in global conflicts & crises including Ethiopia, Afghanistan, and Ukraine,“ he added.
