The reason for Irwin's resignation is unclear, but it comes a day after Musk publicly criticized a content moderation decision made at Twitter. Studies have shown that hate speech has increased under Musk's tenure, and Twitter disbanded its volunteer group that advised on self-harm, child abuse, and hate speech.
