Some terrorist actors have increased operations on Twitter after staff tasked with monitoring this content were sacked, according to a report by Tech Against Terrorism, an initiative that helps companies police content online.

The warning comes just two months after Twitter cut its 7,500-strong workforce nearly in half following Elon Musk’s $44bn takeover of the social network. Significant cuts were made to Twitter’s trust and safety teams, which aim to protect users from illegal and harmful content, as part of the restructuring.
