According to media reports, Twitter has closed its entire Brussels headquarters. This raises questions about the company’s ability to meet upcoming content moderation requirements in the European Union. Julia Mozer and Dario La Nasa, who were in charge of Twitter’s digital strategy in Europe, resigned from the company last week.
Twitter’s European headquarters are in Dublin, despite the fact that this office has been reduced by 50% in size.
“I can confirm that we have active and ongoing contacts with Twitter (and other platforms) on various topics,” a representative for the European Commission said. The announcement came after the commission revealed that Twitter and other digital companies took longer to investigate hate speech allegations.
