Voice to Parliament 'prime target' to foreign influence, former Twitter executive warns | ABC News

A former Twitter executive responsible for policing misinformation has warned Elon Musk's takeover has made the social media platform increasingly vulnerable to foreign governments and extremists trying to influence the Voice to Parliament referendum.
Yoel Roth led Twitter's moderation and integrity unit, which monitored and investigated abuse, inappropriate content and misinformation, until he quit shortly after Mr Musk bought the company last October.
He told ABC Investigations the Voice to Parliament vote was a "prime target" for disinformation campaigns and the platform, renamed X in June, was doing almost nothing under Mr Musk's ownership to stop lies spreading among its users.
