It's not really, tbh. Like the vast vast vast majority of content reviewers are outside California and have been for well over a decade.

The change here is to move the people designing the policies to Texas (basically a stealth layoff, tbh).

That being said, the moderation has been insanely bad for a while now, so all the model tuning seems like a worthwhile change to me.

The Texas thing sounds like PR but isn't really given their huge offices in Austin.
