Twitter's ex-safety head Yoel Roth flees home following threats amid release of Elon Musk’s 'Twitter Files'
An individual with knowledge of the situation informed CNN that Twitter's former head of trust and safety has left his house owing to an increase in threats as a result of Elon Musk's campaign of criticism against him. Yoel Roth, who came under scrutiny from Twitter’s new owner has been lamented as a pedophile on the social media platform.
Since the so-called Twitter Files or internal Twitter communications that new owner Musk has released through journalists like Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss were made public, Roth who left the social media company in November has been the target of a flurry of attacks and threats of violence. Roth's job required him to handle delicate situations such as the account suspension of then-President Donald Trump in 2021. On Monday, December 12 Weiss shared a series of pictures allegedly depicting internal Twitter correspondence in which Roth and others debated whether to block Trump's account, with some staffers wondering whether the former president's remarks broke any rules. Although Roth had first received Musk's public support, this rapidly altered once Roth left the firm.
