"Elon Musk's X Appoints Third Safety Chief in Two Years, Following Predecessor's Departure"

X has appointed Kylie McRoberts as the new head of safety, following the resignations of previous safety chiefs who clashed with Elon Musk. McRoberts, previously involved in Google's safe web browsing efforts, will oversee X's global safety team, which has been rebranded to drop "trust" from its name. While some users criticized her for a lack of transparency, X CEO Linda Yaccarino emphasized that the Safety team would defend freedom of speech on the platform. McRoberts' team will focus on developing new products, tools, and features to protect the platform and community, with efforts including stepping up content moderation and building a Safety Center of Excellence in Austin, Texas.
