Not even a year ago they fired the majority of staff and disbanded entire teams. Whatever expansion there is now is dwarfed by those massive cuts. Twitter's policy has been, and continues to be, to keep moderation to a skeleton crew as a cost-cutting measure.

Yes that’s what I mean.

The previous team famously focused on ideological purity over trust, safety and authenticity and absolutely needed to be replaced.
