Twitter UK staff get deadline over cuts consultation
Twitter staff in the UK who face losing their jobs have been given three days to nominate someone to represent them in a formal consultation about their employment. Following the announcement, the workers union Prospect said it now has "Dozens" of Twitter UK staff members on its books. A senior official told the BBC three days was a very short time frame for people to organise themselves or communicate with each other, especially given that most still have frozen access to company-wide work platforms such as the messaging service Slack and their Twitter email accounts. Mr Musk first announced he wanted to buy Twitter for $44bn in April - but it took a long and tumultuous six months for a deal to be struck. Online safety groups and campaigners have expressed concerns about his plans to relax content moderation and reverse permanent Twitter bans given to controversial figures, including former US president Donald Trump.
