Elon Musk has continued his battle towards “woke” titles and departments, with “Belief and Security” now apparently thought of too politically right. Or one thing.

At present, X (previously Twitter) has introduced that it’s altering the identify of its “Belief and Security” group to simply “Security.”

Which isn’t actually a lot of an announcement, however in case you go searching for X’s Belief and Security group in future, that is the place you’ll discover it.

As defined by X:

“Belief is one thing that should be earned. And as a completely new firm, with a completely new set of priorities, we’re deliberately renaming our Belief & Security group to Security. Our group stays indispensable, and our mission stays the identical: to offer a secure setting for all customers on the platform – on their phrases.”

Which is a weird paragraph on numerous fronts, and quite a lot of phrases to announce the identify change.

Elon adopted this up together with his personal feedback, saying that:

“Any group that places “Belief” of their identify can not trusted, as that’s clearly a euphemism for censorship. Belief is one thing that should be earned. The objective of our Security group is solely to make sure compliance with the legal guidelines that exist already to guard the individuals.”

Which can be a wierd assertion, however once more, the gist is that “belief” implies dangerous issues in Elon’s world, so X received’t be utilizing that time period anymore.

X has additionally underlined its key objectives of defending its customers, resisting censorship and selling transparency.

Elon stays devoted to combating censorship wherever he sees it, and ignoring it the place he doesn’t, with Musk himself persevering with to censor numerous individuals, publications, and different entities, both by way of on-platform penalties or authorized motion, nonetheless he sees match.

So who is aware of what any of this truly means inside his chosen context, however once more, the fundamental information is that if you wish to discover X’s “Belief and Security group”, you’re now solely searching for “Security” as a substitute.

Nothing modifications operationally. Simply the identify.

FYI.
