Twitter Inc. has disbanded its Trust and Safety Council, a group of independent experts who provided guidance on content moderation issues, days after several members quit.

The company, recently bought by Elon Musk, created the advisory group in 2016 to help tackle child sexual exploitation, hate speech, harassment, self-harm and other problems on the platform.
