SAN FRANCISCO — New Twitter owner Elon Musk said Thursday that he is granting “amnesty” for suspended accounts, which online safety experts predict will spur a rise in harassment, hate speech and misinformation. for accounts that have not “broken the law or engaged in egregious spam.” The yes vote was 72%.“The people have spoken. Amnesty begins next week. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Musk tweeted using a Latin phrase meaning “the voice of the people, the voice of God.
Musk used the same Latin phrase after posting a similar poll last last weekend before reinstating the account of former President Donald Trump, which Twitter had banned for encouraging the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. Trump has said he won’t return to Twitter but has not deleted his account.In the month since Musk took over Twitter, groups that monitor the platform for racist, anti-Semitic and other toxic speech say it’s been on the rise on the world’s de facto public square.
On Tuesday, he said he was reneging on that promise because he’d agreed to at the insistence of “a large coalition of political-social activists groups” who later “broke the deal” by urging that advertisers at least temporarily stop giving Twitter their business. A day earlier, Twitter reinstated the personal account of far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, which was banned in January for violating the platform’s COVID misinformation policies.
Musk, meanwhile, has been getting increasingly chummy on Twitter with right-wing figures. Before this month’s U.S. midterm elections he urged “independent-minded” people to vote Republican.A report from the European Union published Thursday said Twitter took longer to review hateful content and removed less of it this year compared with 2021.
Allowing conservative views on Twitter is not hate speech, harassment or misinformation.
I don't care. Block and mute are available for a reason.
I can't find the misinformation or hate speech clause in the constitution but you know there's this thing called the block button so you can create your own little censorship bubble.
Won't do any of that so cut off the drama

Oh jeez!!! What a giant load of crap from the tribune staff. This paper has fallen so far from its once greatness. .elonmusk needs to buy trib so it can get back to reporting real news!! Tribune = Chicken Little
Finally now Chicago's murder problem is fixed.
We are grateful for elonmusk. Elon, come to IL soon. Would be glad to host you for dinner.
Then they will be suspended again ….stop
Your paper is on a mission to cancel conservatives while fully endorsing hate speech from the left. Your reporters are abandoning ship. Pot, kettle.
So another words it will be just like everything democrats do that causes all those things but since Musk isn’t a democrat now it’s wrong huh? 😂.
