​Twitter no longer has an office in Brussels amid layoffs that have reduced the company’s total workforce from 7,500 worldwide to 3,500 following Elon Musk’s decisions. The Financial Times, which reports on the Belgian office, writes that it will be a challenge for the company to comply with the EU policy on content moderation.

The publication writes that the people who dealt with Twitter’s digital policy in Europe left these days, and two people monitored Twitter’s compliance with European laws related to disinformation. In addition, the Digital Services Act has recently come into force, so a new set of rules must be followed to ensure maximum user safety online.

Twitter’s offices in many parts of the world, from France to India to Africa, have been severely understaffed or left without people after cycles of layoffs that followed Elon Musk’s arrival at the company’s helm.

People have left the Brussels office since the first days of November, but two digital policy directors “survived” this first wave.

With so few people in Europe, the question is how Twitter will manage to fight misinformation, remove dangerous posts and “kill” propaganda campaigns before various elections.

If it doesn’t have the staff to deal with the problems, Twitter risks being sued and paying serious damages.
