McRoberts’ elevation to the role comes more than a year after the company’s former safety leader, Yoel Roth, who oversaw what was then called the Trust and Safety team, resigned in the wake of Musk’s takeover.
In its announcement, X said McRoberts has previously worked on other X safety features including labels that inform a user if their content is being restricted.
In a post last month, Musk said he would change the name of X’s “Trust and Safety” team to simply the “Safety” team.
We are changing the name of our Trust & Safety group, to simply @Safety,” Musk said.
The goal of our Safety team is simply to ensure compliance with the laws that already exist to protect the people.”
