Musk buys Twitter: What's changing?
Elon Musk has struck a deal to buy Twitter with a promise to reduce censorship on the platform, raising questions about what his approach will mean for the "Digital town square". In a Twitter thread, Amnesty International said: "We are concerned with any steps that Twitter might take to erode enforcement of the policies and mechanisms designed to protect users."The last thing we need is a Twitter that wilfully turns a blind eye to violent and abusive speech against users, particularly those most disproportionately impacted, including women, non-binary persons, and others. Even if his Twitter ban is reversed, Mr Trump says he does not plan to return to Twitter, instead opting to use his own platform, Truth Social. "Twitter is still a better choice for him to have a voice, if Twitter is willing to restore his account," Mr Kuo said. Jack Dorsey, who co-founded Twitter and still sits on its board, said he was happy the platform "will continue to serve the public conversation", even though he does not believe "anyone should own or run Twitter".
