New Delhi: As the Twitter-Elon Musk legal battle gets murkier, the micro-blogging platform is reportedly merging its spam and misinformation teams to better tackle the spread of fake and harmful posts on its service.
The new group is set to be called ‘Health Products and Services (HPS)’, and will be led by Ella Irwin, Twitter’s VP of Product.
Twitter confirmed this development to TechCrunch on Wednesday, without divulging further details.
“The reorganisation reflects our continued commitment to prioritize and focus our teams in pursuit of our goals,” said the company.
“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 organise our teams,” the company added.
