Elon Musk made his stance clear in a reply to Yoel Roth’s tweet. Roth said that the Twitter team is “staying vigilant against attempts to manipulate conversations about the 2022 U.S. midterms.” Any huge politics-based event is always certain to echo widely on Twitter, and that’s another reason why many might be worried about Twitter’s currently diminished content moderation. However, Roth seems to suggest that the team is ready to handle the oncoming storm, and Musk agrees with him.
The new Twitter CEO talked to various civil society leaders and discussed Twitter’s plan for cutting down on hate and harassment, as well as maintaining its “election integrity policies.” It’s difficult to say how this aligns with Musk’s previous statements in regard to freedom of speech, but it’s clear that the billionaire might take a less heavy-handed approach now that he owns the platform and needs to stay on top of various laws and agreements.
To further prove his point, Musk added: “Twitter will not allow anyone who was de-platformed for violating Twitter rules back on platform until we have a clear process for doing so, which will take at least a few more weeks.” This means that those who were banned for any reason will not be able to recover their accounts until the platform is ready to receive them. What else is going to happen during the dramatic Twitter transformation? We’ll certainly keep you posted.
