Oh wow, X really is constructing a brand new security heart within the U.S. in any case.

After asserting again in January that it was planning to construct a new “Belief and Security heart of excellence” in Texas, particularly targeted on combating baby sexual exploitation (CSE) materials, X hasn’t made some other announcement on the venture. And it was beginning to really feel like possibly it was by no means really going to occur, like possibly Elon and Co. had simply made it as much as placate regulators.

However apparently it’s transferring forward, primarily based on this new job itemizing posted within the app.

As you possibly can see, X is now staffing its new Belief and Security facility in Texas, which can ideally see it increase its human moderation employees, with a view to enhancing its efforts in addressing rule-breaking content material.

Which has been a contentious factor of Elon Musk’s grand plan. Musk’s view is that moderation equates to censorship in most functions, and as such, he’s eager to keep away from the corporate interfering with what individuals share within the app, as a lot as attainable.

However content material that breaks X’s guidelines is totally different, and knowledge from X exhibits that the platform now has far fewer employees engaged on moderation than some other social app. And whereas Neighborhood Notes supplies a further barrier to some extent, X does want extra moderation employees, to be able to fight regarding content material, and shield customers, whereas additionally reassuring potential advert companions.

The institution of a brand new Security Middle (simply “Security” now, as a result of apparently “Belief and Security” is simply too woke or one thing) in Texas may be a precursor to an even bigger transfer for the corporate, with Elon Musk just lately asserting that X will transfer out of San Francisco, on account of his dissatisfaction with native authorities.

Whether or not that truly occurs or not stays to be seen, nevertheless it could possibly be that this new security facility is simply the primary factor of X HQ in Elon’s dwelling state.

Both means, it’s a big transfer, shifting the corporate previously generally known as Twitter away from Silicon Valley, which Musk himself believes is politically biased and corrupt.

As such, this could possibly be step one in a serious change for the app.
