Who is the new Trust & Safety lead helping to ruin Twitter?

Dear Reader,

I’ve just been caught up amongst the waves of suspensions of journalists on Twitter, no doubt due to my tweets and blog posts which are endlessly critical of Elon Musk and the massive mess he’s intentionally made of our discourse.

I logged into Twitter to find that I was asked to delete two tweets which showed up simply as two empty boxes.

Empty boxes where the violating tweets should be.

After clicking “Delete” on these non-existent tweets, I was overjoyed to discover that Trust & Safety VP (and Elon Musk lapdog) Ella Irwin banned me from Twitter for 7 days.

Who is Ella Irwin?

Irwin was hired as a product management leader (VP of Product for Health and Twitter Service) several months after Elon announced he was buying Twitter, then was promoted to replace Yoel Roth once he was let go.
