X’s head of business operations, Joe Benarroch, announced the company’s intention to establish a new office in Austin, Texas. This office will house a dedicated team focused on content moderation, particularly in preventing the spread of child sexual exploitation (CSE) materials. X plans to hire 100 full-time employees for this “Trust and Safety center of excellence.”
Linda Yaccarino, X’s CEO, is scheduled to testify before Congress on Wednesday regarding CSE. In a recent blog post, the platform emphasized its commitment to creating an inhospitable environment for those seeking to exploit minors.
Benarroch emphasized the importance of these investments in preventing offenders from using the platform for the distribution or engagement with CSE content. The team will also address other content issues.
