While their ideas and <strong>active involvement<\/strong> in the past were appreciated, there\u2019s no guarantee that their thoughts will be considered going forward. As a matter of fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/twitter-heads-into-deep-water\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elon might rely heavily on AI<\/a> and algorithms to do the moderation instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Twitter has dissolved the Trust &amp; Safety Council <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/R2wS9BsqA2\">pic.twitter.com\/R2wS9BsqA2<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Anthony DeRosa (@Anthony) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Anthony\/status\/1602463355565907968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 13, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s just think about this for a moment. On the one hand, I can understand where Elon is going with all these movements. After seeing how much money was <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/twitter-false-information-covid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">being spent on Twitter<\/a> with not enough returns, he clearly wants to <strong>improve the financial situation<\/strong>. After all, he spent billions of dollars on the platform. So by automating moderation, he won\u2019t need to pay humans to do the work anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, humans are more likely to make errors or be biased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Twitter-definitively-dissolves-Trust-and-Safety-Council.jpg\" alt=\"Twitter definitively dissolves Trust and Safety Council\" class=\"wp-image-207830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Twitter-definitively-dissolves-Trust-and-Safety-Council.jpg 640w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Twitter-definitively-dissolves-Trust-and-Safety-Council-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Twitter-definitively-dissolves-Trust-and-Safety-Council-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Twitter-definitively-dissolves-Trust-and-Safety-Council-150x88.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, how much <strong>does automation actually work<\/strong>? Let\u2019s take <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, for example, which has <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/new-twitter-alternative-post-news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">automation in place<\/a> to make sure certain content isn\u2019t posted. However, there are many times we\u2019ve seen that it doesn\u2019t work properly. Some profiles get slammed for nudity by simply showing a tattoo on a shoulder, while others can post full back or front nudity and get away with it (unless reported).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll just have to wait and see what the future of the Trust and Safety Council holds. Also, it\u2019s going to be fun and games seeing automated moderation causing <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/twitter-blue-subscription-character-limit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chaos on Twitter<\/a> and giving me more fodder to write about on Softonic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New waves are washing over Twitter as it moves to disband the Trust and Safety Council.
