Twitter abruptly dissolves safety council moments before meeting

The firm's turmoil appears to deepen since Elon Musk's takeover with Yoel Roth forced to flee home amid personal attacks

Elon Musk's Twitter abruptly dissolved its Trust and Safety Council on Monday night, just moments before it was scheduled to meet with company representatives.

The council was an advisory group of nearly 100 independent civil, human rights and other organizations that the company formed in 2016 to address hate speech, child exploitation, suicide, self-harm and other problems on the platform. But Twitter informed the group via email that it was disbanding shortly before the meeting was to take place on Monday, according to multiple members.
