The Trust and Safety Council of Twitter was abolished in December 2022, according to The X, and the corporation did not replace it with any other advisory board "on matters related to the safety of users, including disgusting conduct".

Australia has blasted X, which is owned by Elon Musk, for allegedly not doing enough to stop dangerous material from appearing on its platform and for not following through on court orders that the site received. The Australian eSafety Commissioner noted in its latest transparency report says X has made “deep cuts” to its confidence-building teams after being bought by the tech billionaire in October 2022.

Ax has slashed its security and trust workforce by forty percent globally and forty-five percent in the Asia-Pacific area. The number of engineers working on trust and security-related projects has decreased by 80% globally, according to eSafety, while X has reduced the number of content moderators by 52%. Ax has reduced the number of public policy employees by 68 percent globally and 73 percent in the Asia-Pacific area.
