X says it will hire 100 full-time employees for a new trust and safety office in Austin, Texas, according to a Saturday report by Bloomberg<\/em><\/a>. The plan comes, as the article notes, just a few days before CEO Linda Yaccarino\u2019s scheduled January 31st hearing<\/a> before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding X\u2019s handling of child sexual exploitation moderation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The team would reportedly focus mainly on CSE and would be the first proper trust and safety team since Elon Musk gutted it<\/a> shortly after purchasing the platform formerly known as Twitter. X updated a blog post<\/a> about its CSE moderation approach to mention the new office yesterday, as well, though it doesn\u2019t reveal what the new team will be doing, nor when the office will open. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n The company\u2019s business operations head, Joe Benarroch, told Bloomberg <\/em>that the team will also help with other moderation enforcement, such as those forbidding hate speech. A content moderation job posting<\/a> for X in Austin says moderators will investigate issues like \u201cspam and fraud\u201d and provide customer support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
