Elon Musk plans to reinstate nearly all previously banned Twitter accounts — to the alarm of activists and online trust and safety experts.
The mass return of users who had been banned for such offenses as violent threats, harassment, abuse and misinformation would have a significant impact on the platform, experts said. And many questioned how such a resurrection would be handled, given that it’s unclear what Musk means by “egregious spam” and the difficulty of separating out users who have “broken the law,” which vary widely by jurisdiction and country.
since January for violating the platform’s covid-19 misinformation policies and pushing violent and extreme rhetoric.Experts say that bots and bad actors can easily skew the results of a Twitter poll, and so basing decisions on one is irresponsible. “A Twitter poll can be manipulated, there’s nothing scientific or rigorous in any way about what he’s doing,” said Sarah T.
xshadow23x this would explain what we were just talking about
Good
rolandsmartin So Elon Is going 2 'unbanned them' so he could BANNED them again. New FLASH, those ppl views is probably the same and not going 2 change. So get ready 2 start Banning them again...what a waste of time....
Jeff, pls do something......i.e. firing the same amount of folks at WP writing this kind of bull.....
Good!
Thank u
Well It's been a biased and purely politically motivated process before. Hopefully now it can just be equitable. You know, applied equally to all.
Freedom of speech. Democrats have threatened and harassed us openly for years
1 extra N in there and my first account received its anon gratuity....but not without a misspelling
This is seriously concerning. Is Musk trying to both endanger people's lives and destroy Twitter by turning it into a toxic soup and losing all its advertisers? Suggest using the 'block' button often, like I have in blocking 1,000s of bots and trolls. It makes Twitter far better
That’s not what he said
Let the truth rain down on you 🤡’s…
Free speech is Paramount to the advancement of humanity. On another note. The Wash Post & Amazon are both owned by Jeff Bezos. He uses WP to push fear & Division. This makes more people stay inside & afraid to engage with others. Amazon makes billions more because of this
Yeah, that sounds like a great plan.
leakEpsteinsclientlist
You are a rag!
In other words, he's going to reevaluate accounts which were banned due to prog censorship. That's why the WaPo is having a meltdown.
I mean your account is still active, so I mean misinformation was always allowed.
Elon should realise that human beings by nature need behavioral check mechanisms to avoid chaos.
Can you point me to when he said he was reinstating accounts suspended for threats? He specifically said that accounts that broke the law will not be reinstated. Threatening someone is against the law.
good
I wonder why he didn't reinstate Alex Jones's account.
And just like that, fake news at , still mourning over Trump’s vaporization of their beloved religious leader, lies again. Color me shocked
Halleluja. Free world.
Washington post is mad because your fake stories are going to be exposed
It’s a welcome move… Many Twitter accounts used to be suspended on political pressure of Ruling Dispensations….
If an association that warranted the shutdown of fake news association ever existed, WaPo, you'd be out of business since the beginning of the century. Pathetic articles, seriously.
And promptly more advertisers will flee
Stop lying... ish. You people are 💩.
Y’all really don’t like free speech, do you? For a news outfit you’d think you would nurture it.
The wapo is a walking example of actual malice.
So, essentially, the Washington Post is in charge of all 'true information' - Got it... No ideological agenda, not 'misinformation-y' at all... 😎
rolandsmartin LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
Another brilliant move - Twitter will end up banned in Europe and dropped by Apple and Android.
FAKE NEWS
Interesting thing here is WaPo favors mass amnesty for illegal immigrants who may hv actually committed assaults, rapes, and murder. To WaPo free speech is more dangerous than actual crimes.
Many accounts were suspended because they were exposing Truth many journalists civil rights lawyers human rights defenders so stop 🛑 lying may be others spread misinformation but you are also spreading misinformation by this tweet check this account per example Stanleycohenlaw
This dude is literally making business decisions by Twitter poll. Holy. 💩
Think of it as no bail for political dissidents
The Washington Compost is an enemy of the American people
Elon Musk showing his true colors. Never trust men with deep pockets.
The dude is a pestilence on society
So doxing people is bad again? Just only if it isn’t TaylorLorenz doing it…
Yeah, but he will suspend accounts for criticizing him. More like the Twitter baby big mouth.
The sky is falling! Oh no! What ever will I do if I see a Trump supporter on Twitter? Pwease save me from differing opinions, daddy corporations. I can't bear to have people question my media created reality. I'm so scared!
Wow I will have DOZENS of accounts to post under!
And for some reason, it was primarily conservative accounts. Liberal threats, harassment, and misinformation was OK.
For Elon, the wold is just a toy! Thank God for your whiteness and the privilege to make money and destroy the world with it!
elonmusk should try and figure out how to turn far lefty tears into petroleum.
Musk is a disaster. Every step has been wrong. A crisis of his own making. Imagine thinking reinstating the biggest liars & haters on twitter is good for business? Or thinking the left is favored when his own data shows otherwise? Circling the drain. Kinda funny🍿 NotAGenius
👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 divisive
This tweet is not true, it is disinformation. In any case, thank you Elon for not suspending TWP's account. Freedom, individual responsibility, not censorship
😆
Now that should really help the situation in this country!
WaPo: “Democracy Dies in Darkness!” Elon: “True. To ensure there’s plenty of light and save democracy, I’m letting every law abiding voice be heard.” WaPo: “You are literally opening the gates to hell!” elonmusk
That is not what he said and this is fake news
Bad idea, already too much right wing noise.
The rules on Twitter have not changed. Unbanning accounts that had minor offenses is needed to restore public trust. Trust is a word that the WP doesn't often associate with.
Elon Musk determined to turn Twitter into a real sewer by pouring the worst of the worst into it.
What possible good faith basis or positive rationale could there be?!?!!
He’s lost about 1/3 of his advertisers. More will leave. He’s not a good businessman. He’s just a spoiled rich kid who grew up to be a spoiled rich guy with a fragile ego.
nah, all the child molesting leftists have left the platform. now all we need is you propagandists and activists gone and we can return to normalcy
I always did enjoy reading fiction over factual fiction
He actually said that Twitter will reinstate all accounts that have not broken the Law or engaged in spam…
Tesla announces free MAGA hat and blood-soaked seats as standard equipment after Musk supports domestic terrorists.
Accounts suspended by far-left radical comrades that might be the accurate headline.
Misinformation like censoring the Hunter laptop story
As long as the block/mute feature remains in place, there is no really strong reason for opposing this.
The irony of this story coming from WP...
¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Washington Post reporter said to have sought help from priest after witnessing terrifying visions of hell claiming that Elon Musk preparing ritual to liberate souls trapped in purgatory.
NO.. it began way back ..when this panflet started..
The “misinformation” was that you could still get the Wuhan after vaccination. That was heresy in the beginning.
Misinformation is in the eye of the beholder. Questions to ask: Is all information factual? Who's defining misinformation?
💦💦 threats harrassment and misinformation 💦💦 For farks sake
Had all accounts that deserved to be banned been banned, I am sure this will not be a problem for mainstream media. Had both sides of the divide been equally banned, there would have been consistent calls from both sides for restoration.
The main stream media is giving Musk tooo much press.
The judges, at the time, were biased on their determination of what was a threat, harassment, or intimidation. He is cleaning the slate. Anyone committing actual threats, harassment, or intimidation will be suspended going forward. I understand why WP must be concerned now.
I 💚 elonmusk Ji 🫡
Man of the Decade 🔥
The doomsday clock on Twitter’s demise is getting close to the final tick.
p_hannam You had the characters to include that includes ppl who participated in genocides, war criminals, convicted terrorists, literal spies, and convicted abusers.
i don't even know the account name or password of my former deleted accounts lol. as if. sounds like a scam to claim Twitter has more users than it actually does.
Mona Knows he actually said suspended accounts that are not lawbreakers or spammers would be reinstated. WaPo continues to foment division, drama, and lies.
Racist abuse and not banning will be an all time high
I need this for YouTube elonmusk Could you please buy YouTube? They have suspended my account after logging in my account from a library pc.
🤬
😬
Pretty sure he said he will reinstate accounts that haven't broken laws or engaged in egregious spam. So they've been blocked illegitimately by lefty political activists. As left political activists you obviously don't like this.
Elon thinks he's some sort of troll martyr😭
I don’t think he’s allowing threats of violence…also, some people have such thin skin that they think others facts or opinions are harassment.
But he should ban the Wash Post.
why so worried? turn off the computer and go to bed 🛏
The Marxist Gate of Hell
But it was outside the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh that a man was arrested in the early hours of Wednesday morning. The 26-year old had traveled from California and has admitted that he hoped to kill Kavanaugh.
'Trust and saftey experts'? You mean the over-sensitive Karens with delusions of grandeur who abuse their power to punish anyone they personally dont like? Yea, I bet they are alarmed. Thats not a bad thing.
Democrats care only about power, and they’re afraid Elon Musk-owned Twitter isn’t going to protect their power over speech. JimCarrey I think If you’re going to terminate a pregnancy, it should be done sometime before the fetus becomes Governor of Alabama.
Trump didn't hate speech, it was only hated by the Marxist. Didn't you marxist claim that it was privately owned and they can ban anyone they wanted
Former Twitter CEO and leftwing activist Dick Costolo has publicly called for people who disagree with his political ideology to be “lined up against the wall and shot.” Trump should have never been blocked
According to Twitter, it was 'hate speech' they were banning. However, the truth is Twitter didn't ban hate speech. Twitter banned conservative values. When faced with vile speech from a leftist, their answer was 'we cannot comment on specific pages.'.
Dr. Li-Meng Yan was banned from Twitter for saying Covid was from china, man made from the communist party That's not hate speech. Democrats banned Dr. Yan from Twitter by order of the Chinese Communist Government
Twitter is leading way with censoring individual accounts. That is, Twitter is now officially a partisan platform. Twitter says that criticizing democrats is now hate speech, where the liberals claim people are fascist for not subscribing to their Marxist views
Yes! Let free speech in! Open discussion is healthy. Keeping people isolated in glass bubbles leads to echo chambers and is very dangerous. Let everyone speak.
WP is the marketing wing of the DNC.
LESGO🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The left hates free speech. They no longer control the narrative.
…he is pursuing free speech and freedom of opinion, something the loony Democrats are trying to remove.
Got mine back thanks elon
Cry me a River! 🤣🤣🤣 Now we’ll all be on a level playing field!!! Since we’re the MAJORITY it’s going to be fun!!!!
Raise a little hell raise a little hell raise a little hell! Go elonmusk !!
'Trust and safety experts' We really are tired of you and your bullsht and your 'experts'
In all fairness, activists are always alarmed. That’s what they do. Beats work. 🙂
The Washington Post is an extremist portal. Gives a platform to dangerous extremist to voice their opinions and propaganda! Paid media
A terrible take by a terrible author from a terrible newspaper. A newspaper fighting against freespeech. Quite the take ....
cryborg “provided that they have not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam?” This isn’t even possible. Their job us to break the law and lie.
Name 1 'expert' who isn't some radical left wing indoctrinating liberal with pronouns in their bio. Name should be the Washington Compost
God forbid we alarm the Activists. We have a whole year's worth of riots that show what happens when they get riled up.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡
If those dorks are against it, I fully support it.
'activists' lol
'Safety experts' LOL.
move over to mastodon and leave us alone
Trust and safety expert, lol, hr term to keep their jobs
Oh no! He has alarmed the activists! Whatever will we do?
Why you scared of people talking to one another?..sus
He is reinstating Russian and other accounts that have the purpose of harming our Constitutional Republic. It's not free speech, it is yelling 'Fire' in a crowded theater. All for money for the richest man in the world.
So some people are so worried they can't defend their position that they just want to not hear opposing ones?
I'm an online expert. Everyone will be fine.
803 likes in 14 hours. Paltry.
Don’t let that free speech stuff get in the way.
Thanks for letting the truth be heard
It’s called free speech comrade
LOLOL so foolish of you
What’s an on line safety expert.
They are not activist and nor specialist
TaylorLorenz Watching the left loose control…
The accounts banned are mostly the ones that are calling out paedophilia on Twitter and in the upper echelons. Places like Balenciaga. But priorities amiright?
Why do liberals hate free speech?
There is no such thing as 'online trust and safety experts.' Twitter had some, they thought, and they were all justly canned. Turns out they were just liberal activists.
Noooooooooooooooooo!
Opening the gates to where... Freedom..
Doesn't matter, no matter how much money you have. Losing millions a day is unsustainable. He will have to take the loss and sell or have this bag of air break him.
“Taylor Lorenz” 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Sounds like elonmusk should buy the latimes for a more 'balanced' narrative.
For all those who accept fake Twitter polls but reject real election results.
Wow, if the gates of hell, what gate does Bezo's dishonest & biased Wapoo poo open? 'Those afraid of the truth, have something to hide.'
Yah Google and Apple! You DA gods!! Got it!
Aww we're skeered WaPo?
penis
Online leftist censors wail as elonmusk undoes the accomplishments of their careers over the course of just one month.
Taylor Lorenz is just a party commissar
So the 'DOX QUEEN' can't handle it?
You activists and journos are disgusting and pathetic.
What do 'safety experts' have to do with Twitter?
Poor babies crying because democracy isn’t working in their favor anymore.
Oh, a Taylor Lorenz piece. We can certainly trust this to be accurate!
the archives have been updated and corrected with two entries! the biography of comrade tl now accurately celebrates that they are as old and robust as the ancient gates of hell. also 'the gates of hell' newspeak is as follows. gatofhel. use with ease good citizens!
..... 'experts'
Let me guess: every one of these 'experts' voted for Joe Biden.
Online trust and safety experts should learn to code and go build their own platform, eh?
Block them. It’s simple.
THE. HORROR.
Cry more
“Experts” = 🐒🐒🐒
' to the alarm of pedophiles, transvestites, Bidenites, and the rest of the sociopaths '
OnLiNe TrUsT aNd SaFeTy ExPeRtS lmaooooooo
Cry harder!
Just hold on to your safety pin. 🙄
Who are they experts you speak of ?
TaylorLorenz Of course reinstate the banned accounts. It was all political. And if you must censor, for example pedos and rude people, don’t put woke nerds in charge of it.
Trust ? Surprised you can even spell it.
'Activists' & 'Online trust/safety experts'🥴 Who are these people? Is this anything like 'Anonymous Sources'?
He thinks he’s sooo much smarter than the rest of us. Tragic.
Why do liberals think they can dictate whose allowed on Twitter?
ShaykAdam Lol perfect
I'm sorry that free speech is happening to you TaylorLorenz.
TaylorLorenz sTArT yOuR oWn PlAtFoRm then. Isn’t that how it works 😂
Glad to see free speech make a comeback. Here's a thought, if you LOSE your mind over someone not in line with YOUR beliefs and life priorities...maybe you should work on that vs trying to stop the voices of others.
TaylorLorenz “Online trust and safety experts”
If it’s “to the alarm of activists and online trust and safety experts” and akin to “opening the gates of hell”, why do we have to pay to read this all-important, crappy article? Are we back to the “saving our democracy by mob rule” again? FO
TaylorLorenz May the gates of Hell welcome you then
Oh please…On line safely activists !
TaylorLorenz FreeSpeech
Let the games begin
Who are the Experts? Name one…
Commies hate him
'Gate of Hell'?
Ya, and if they break the rules again they are out for good. There is new/fair ref on the field.
Awesome 👍🏻
Here for the chaos!
On the eve of 4 mass shootings
RonBrownstein Eaxcatly the move of an inadequate and failed business leader. I see it from time to time in my executive coaching business and it’s usually when they can’t figure out why no one wants to work there and business is not growing.
And he’s removing accounts linked to child sexual abuse. Accounts that didn’t seem to worry you when they were operating. You seem more worried about hearing “dangerous” opinions than you do about protecting the truly vulnerable.
Twitter is not real life, folks.
Oh look Taylor Lorenz using wapo cuz Elon hurt her feelings?
rage on sinners
You’re history.. no one’s believes anything you say now. Goodbye and farewell
Here we go with 'experts' again.
I’d like you to find a Washington post “expert” that’s been right in the last 2 years
Who are the experts? List them and their affiliations and qualifications…..
Meanwhile Elon is permanently suspending any account which even moderately criticizes him. He's not interested in free speech, his goal is to promote right-wing extremist voices.
Elon should make 2 channels on Twitter, one would be heavily moderated by government agencies and safety experts The other channel would be a free marketplace of ideas with restrictions against threats of violence, slander and pedophilia. People could choose the culture they want
You people have heard about the 1st amendment in the constitution. RIGHT?
😂😂😂 free speech doesn’t mean only words you like ❄️. “to the alarm of activists and online trust and safety experts” These experts, they aren’t from CBSNews are they? 😂🤦♂️
Would be good because they have been crazy since some time with blocking accounts for nothing instead of controlling the fake and scammer accounts
TwitterHellscape
The people complaining are the same who applauded when free speech was banned by the previous twitter regime. It's fake liberals who think they must control any & everything that happens in America except their own ability to simply click on a block or mute button.
They were all still here anyway with burner accounts.
Twitter users voted overwhelmingly for this. Why do you hate democracy and question elections, WaPo?
'online trust and safety experts' 😆 Where do I earn one of these certifications?
elonmusk WaPo says activists, 'trusted' things, and unnamed safety experts who aren't certified but, recognized... are 'ALARMED'. Because, You.
Who determines who qualifies as a “trust expert”? I’m guessing that role is only filled by far-left activists
LoL. Scary.
Twitter will become another 4chan or Gab or Truth Social. I deleted Facebook; no reason to not DeleteTwitter for the same reason. Nice run, Twitter . But maybe now is the time to move on. Why support the joker at the top?
This is great news. Thank you elonmusk
Let them be alarmed. Who cares?
Keep coping and seething, hall monitors.
Meanwhile, letting felons out of jail because of COVID
Better than having to see the MMARKLE everyday promoting herself with her aggressive propaganda 🥴
You forgot to add the hooligans of the left media ..
'Activists & safety experts' What a joke 🙄
Isn’t the reporting supposed to first be on the finding that the trust and safety people at twitter had weaponized their tools to ban & censor wrong-think accounts?
Why is the left so afraid of free speech?
Online Safety Experts? Realllllllly 🧐
Vote with your feet people. If you don't like what Musk is doing (and I don't, personally) deactivate Twitter and delete your account.
They act like Twitter is the only place. Try Mastodon.
Normal people as well as 'activists'
Rep. Jeffries is like a sound without noise. Reparations already exist. Welfare, Affirmative Action, disproportionate media participation and guaranteed employment at Social Security, HUD and US Postal Service as well as poster boy programs in military. The cradle has no baby.
Cope and seeth
I don't even drive, but is it not time to organise a boycott of Tesla? Lots of other companies have better alternatives, like toyota_europe for instance, without the stink of hate speech and harassment. Or will this happen organically?
'Your thoughts are too dangerous for me - or anyone else - to read and must therefore be banned.'
Strange how no liberal accounts were ever banned.
Please provide a list of these experts
So much fear. It's almost like the new prison guards are not besties with the new warden. Jeff's mouthpiece at it again. Maybe he needs to spend more time figuring out how to get his yacht into open waters and less time worrying about the man he hates and fears.
Yep, no moderation for threats, harassment or misinformation. Whoever has the biggest megaphone wins. The election was stolen… must fight back. Vaccines are dangerous… don’t take. All judges, investigators, prosecutors are corrupt… don’t partake. What could possibly go wrong?
By Taylor Lorenz. Lol, what a joke. WaPo has no integrity.
It's funny, you typed 'online trust and safety experts' but my brain always misreads that as 'hysterical Karen's who need to get laid' Just tell Taylor to breathe into a paper bag, she'll be fine
But you praise SBF…”journalism”
Lass is sooo mad she was rejected for the Ministry of Truth.
You know that there is a world outside of Twitter right? Also if you truly must have your daily dose of Twitter, there’s this button where you can mute and even block opinions you don’t like. So you can stay safe and comfortable there in your cozy bubble.
Yay 😀
Oh no somebody still pissed that SpaceX was chosen over Blue Origin? We see what you’re doing Bezos! JealousyStrikesThemAll
Your esteemed “experts” can take a hike. The people are done with the safety cult.
Please name JUST ONE trust/safety expert, followed with credentials.
Activist ? Online trust experts? Definition: liberals don’t want to be challenged! Left doesn’t want opposing viewpoints.
'Gates of hell'
I put him in timeout
what experts?
Can anyone please define what a Trust and Safety 'expert' is.
In two years Twitter will be my space. Most folks are already making other arrangements. Not sure who’s advices Mr Musk, but it’s bad. He seems to be working from the Trump & DeSantis playbook. Rather than improve, it’s owning the left. He’ll soon be the past.
Good, I'm glad they're alarmed. They deserve to be.
damn, remember when “newspapers” actually did news instead of activism?
Media writes articles implying that Elon is the devil Companies sees articles and pulls ads Media now writes articles saying companies pulling ads because Elon is the devil Voila. 🪄 That is how media manipulation is done.
'Online trust and safety experts'
You can block people who annoy you. Trust me WP, it’s easy.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 u are garbage
Okay Democrats
Yes because the suppression of scientists who had a different opinion from yours is damaging? When do you go back to journalism.
We got more experts here. The experts have been so expert lately. 2 weeks to stop the spread. Safe and effective. Covid came from a wet market. Transitory. Greatest economic recovery in history. Men can have babies. Earth will not support life in 6 yrs- the experts.
Stop whining granma
Hey activist, online trust🤭 safety ' experts' 🤭 You failed! Get over it, most have moved past your OPINIONS
Open the gates of hell, is the left hypocrites colluded with the communists, the radicals to undermine American values by spreading hates & irrationality which toxic the inexperienced youth..
“Activists” is code word for useless leftist
That is a big mistake by Musk…
My question: Why are corporate media, esp. of western, freaking out this much?
Cry more
The leftist media went to great pains to delete public comment sections from their sites. They knew this would drive traffic to social media outlets where it would be moderated for advertiser preferred opinions by algorithms and fellow travelers. Now they've lost their control.
Omg no! The Q accounts were so dangerous!
Opening the gates to hell? Could you be any more dramatic? It's just people you don't like saying words you don't like. You will survive.
Start your own Twitter then.
Safety experts & activists are the gate keepers of hell. Of course they don't want light from the other side getting in.
Fake news . elonmusk clearly stated * Suspended Accounts.
I'm going to go buy me a blue check, change my name to Biden and maybe cause a war with Putin. All right here on Twitter. For $8 bucks a month. No cred.
No- not the “safety experts!”
Wapo & TaylorLorenz whining again because they lost their monopoly on propaganda here.
gregpmiller If elonmusk had his way, people who had lost their drivers licenses would be out driving their new Teslas, drunk and out of control.
Imagine living such a pathetic existance that you consider yourself to be a twitter 'trust and safety expert'... the idea is beyond laughable
I only called Judge box-o-wine the c word one time and lost that damn account 4 years ago. I'll take it back if they are giving them. Terrible idea though. In my defense, she was acting like a c word.
Been online since BBS. I'm an expert and these guys have fake jobs.
So it's a good idea then
mikeosmond Shame they aren’t as alarmed over Balenciaga 🤷🏼♀️
“Online trust and safety experts” lol
The censors and world controllers are alarmed? Good.
Move to China, if you love censorship
Bezos, busy in his gym, clearly doesn't care that his viewspaper conflates left wing opinion with so called reporting.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Who are these experts? Lol
I have declared myself an activist as well and as such I declare that Washington post is a threat to the republic
Why were they banned in the first place?
Butthurt much?
Who are these experts. Diversity of thought should be embraced, not shunned.
I'd love to see tweets from the Italian Prime Minister Meloni who refused to let migrant boats dock in Italy. They had to go to France. That was great.
Online activists and online trust and safety experts need to learn to accept the us constitution
I want to hear about the climate change scam, the migrant invasion to replace us, and stupidity of investing in education.
Surprise surprise 🙄
Omgggg we won’t be in an echo chamber anymore?!
He is surely showing us what democracy looks like, by governing with such emphasis on the impact of public opinion.
Poor Elon. Always trying to compensate for his shrunken genitalia.
It's like when Walter Peck turns off the containment grid in Ghostbusters
It's hilarious how the put 'experts' in the headlines and expect everyone to believe their garbage propaganda
want to see me without a bra?
Yep our hero Musk has just got the gates of on the run and look and listen the Gates of hell are screaming bloody murder.
Or... Breaking the chains of the single minded oppression:) No truth manufacturing any more:) Let people speak, share, understand each other. Keep going Elon...
Fresh owner fresh start unless you don't like different opinions
You mean setting free the people who Apposed the corrupt politicians
No you got that part of hell wrong. Here’s Hell☠️👇👇
That has a beautiful ring to it.
Drama queens
he did , and he lives there....... he is some' kind of manager ?..not so much....Voteblue. xoxoxo6.
Elon Musk is a liar. Addressing advertisers he promised and tweeted that he would NOT allow Twitter to turn into a 'Free-For-All Hellscape' and that's exactly what it is already turning into. MuskRat
Are you a religious paper?
Twitter increasingly looking like a sewer!
Marxist democrat heads are exploding
Go for it Muskatears..big loss of money..
My favorite headline of all time,very nice.
It would be interesting to see an evenhanded analysis of a sizable sample of these accounts, to see how many genuinely indulged in 'harassment, abuse and misinformation', as opposed to genuinely held beliefs that ran counter to 'official narratives' - i.e. dissenting opinions.
You can smell the desperation. 🤬
I underestimated the number of communist reporters in our country today
If you don’t like it…Twitter gives you a nice block feature….use it
Lol opening the gates of hell. You guys are silly.
That’s my boy
But antifa accounts are ok? Journalism died long ago.
patrickdmarley
Imagine being his age and buying a platform JUST to own the libs...hilarious
The gates of hell is what you call free speech now. Yeah I definitely left the right party. I like freedom and no war. The democrats are no against freedom and for war. There not the Same democrats. I guess they are running on the Same stuff 30 year's ago. Non of it was fixed.
What could go wrong?
Thanks, Elon, you do more for free speech than all the manipulating newspapers together.
ariellewass
Ironic to announce on this day when Twitter has been forcefully colonized by a white guy who's inviting all his colonizer pals over to stake a claim & fuck shit up & make sure decent human beings don't feel safe anymore while claiming we should all still be thankful.
He said SOME accounts, not all.
Liberal tears. How sweet they are
I’m now convinced that Musk is intentionally trying to destroy Twitter.
Windmil with metall balls inside the propeller shot out with some mechanism inside tube to the end of the propeller could make hole thing working even without wind!!! materboroinfinite/perpetumobile
It's called free speech not censored speech.
Hasn't Apple's app store head, Peter Schiller deleted his Twitter account. Maybe the rumours are true, and Apple will remove Twitter from the app store? If that happens, it's only a matter of time before Google do the same. What a mess!!
Thats a very fascist argument
It's boring and slow
Could you do a deeper dive into this instead of legitimizing the actions of this buffoon? How many of those banned accounts are fake?
Block them
Yes!
Ass
WaPo can we stop over sensationalizing until after thanksgiving
It's what the content moderation council, I mean the poll responded to mostly by charlatans and bots, recommended.
The bots have spoken.
Something, something, something free for all hellscape….
References for that
Regarding 'Opening the gates of hell,' that's a bit overly dramatic isn't it, elonmusk?
Lol. Gates of hell? You’re about to see why. Lefty ideas don’t stand up to common sense. They must censure contrarian thought to remain relevant. Open the gates. WaPo will not like what it sees.
Lmao. All this on Twitter
Let's forget about the poll.
THIS is Elon's,'There are good people on both sides' moment; hence he wants racist's, nazis, white nationalist, hatemongers, and bigots back
What are you talking about, people like you are let loose in the media with your prejudicial comments. You seem to know all of the people that were banned from Twitter, why don't you enlighten us? I remember the days when The Washington Post was a factual institution not c' bait
This sounds like something an extremist would say.
As soon as she called for the platforms to remove Twitter, it was clear Alejandra Caraballo is no expert. It’s simple, no one is forcing you to be on Twitter. If you don’t like it, don’t read it.
Just ignore the trolls, they are just trying to start a fight.
It is time for the US Senate to hold hearings on Twitter’s contributions to domestic terrorist’s communications & planning.
So there opinion's to the left are the GATES OF HELL ! LMAO.
By this time next week, there will be NO advertisers left on Twitter.
The big losers will be the conservatives and the Republicans. It will be the 'gates of hell' for these folks. The more crazy the conservatives are perceived to be the more harm it does to their voting chances and image.
Prog hell: less censorship.
His strategy is clear. Create an arena of insults, polemics and misoginy. A show, in essence, to try to attire people.
So your comparing Opening the gates of hell to allowing 1st Amendment of freedom of speech? Stop the nonsense!
'“Even if you’re not on Twitter, you can still be the recipient of these campaigns,” he said. He predicted that public health officials, election officials, journalists and teachers will all be targeted.' 🧐 Hellscape, indeed. To what end? I'll be checking out soon.
HALLELUJAH! ExtremeMAGA
Putin's disinfo troll army's coming back? Musk's unscientific poll question was designed to get a 'yes' to amnesty, by avoiding mentioning amnesty wd flood twitter with paid foreign gov't, & other, disinfo agents bent on gaslighting, polarizingm& destabilizing western society.
This is totally irresponsibly decided by elonmusk!
He's just turning Twitter into FB with a number of words limit. Meh.
Elon is suspending anti-fascist voices such as chadloder, who was working on a BIG Twitter data breach story. Report on that‼️
Did Jesus free those in hell when he died?
Is it true that the Washington Post is owned by the same guy that owns Amazon? . Jeff Bezos.. it is my belief that JB uses the WP as his loss leader to sew division & fear. This has people not talking with each other. Stops more people shopping locally and makes Amazon Billions
No gates of hell . Really more relaxing being on here . You see more people and better post .
Elon is the Walter Peck of Twitter!
As Musk opens the gates of hell it is already burning down slowly.
So I guess Musks 'polls' to allow certain people to be reinstated on Twitter were just shams, huh What a shock --
Open all banned accounts under the old administration. They were truthers being silenced. Great call Elon.
He wants to convince people that the chaos he is releasing is NORMAL. It’s not, it’s fringe that he WANTS to make mainstream. Don’t fall for it. FuckELON
Intentional chaos can only serve a couple of purposes. 1.) Intentionally tank the site to get people to move to Bluesky Social. (A site that will most likely promote crypto to kneecap the dollar) OR 2.) To radicalize a certain segment of societies. I wish the gov would step in.
Fine them, then and put it to a vote
This platform becoming a free for all hellscape. Just a matter of time….. watching space boy’s ego get cross-checked will be sweet though.
I think it is the right move, unfortunately the previous admin had no standards for when an account was banned. Now open it up set expectations and see who hangs themselves.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Musk asks bots and trolls to vote on whether bots and trolls should be allowed back. totally scientific!
He is just attention seeking like the maladjusted child he is. He is such a bad businessman he thinks traffic means money but in the this case it just means traffic. Advertisers have fled. He blew his wealth on an ego trip
EXACTLY 💯 💋❤️🌹 To squash it out, but all the helldiggers wanna make it look different.
Remember when JeffBezos bought your newspaper and NO ONE CARED because he’s a lefty? Yeah me either…
Keep trying JeffBezos 😂
Washington Post only believes in Freedom of Speech the Post agrees with! Your readers are lemmings.
TaylorLorenz
Drama queens much
Musk doesnt care about the planet's well being....
Please stop with the 'Twitter polls shows.....' You ONLY see the polls IF you follow him which bots & MAGA trolls do. Twitter allows TheResistance to connect world wide and dictators/fascists like investors Saudi and Qatar DO NOT want the 'little people' to EVER gain power.
It’s not freedom of speech he supports it’s freedom of hate speech.
Elmo must be running out of tricks.
Congrats Mr. Elon. Free speech is most important to our Nation.
How to blow a $44B investment in ten easy steps.
Freedom of speech restored 🤷🏻♀️
Desperate to increase clicks for advertisers
The only hell is the one Washington Post, NYT, CNN, MSNBC, FOX and ABC have been hiding behind to spread government propaganda and fake news laced in white clothes as truth and facts. Redeem your reputations else Twitter will expose y’all. The future is bright for truth.
Terrible indeed... Anyway. It's a good thing for the freedom of speech, though. 😉
Lol.
Let’s quit.
It’s true elonmusk bought a twitter hell cage and immediately opened the door and got rid of most of the demons. 🤣🤣🤣
If people wake up, it can continue: Hopefully, this is how we will rid the world of the satanic background power that oppresses the world.
😂🤣😂🤣
More like turning the noise to 11 and making the signal to noise ratio on Twitter much worse.
Leftist are doing flips in their dog bowls.
All that work done by the wokeleft and MSM to cancel opposing voices, now hangs in the balance... I'm all atwitter in anticipation!
you cowards that dont like .....just lost all your control....LMAO
To Democrats, yes. The rest of the country who don't like to see people getting banned by Democrats, no.
What advertiser wouldn’t want their product below an ISIS beheading in a sea of n-words?
Effective activists anticipate revival of their unfairly banned accounts (that the clowns at WaPo were too chicken to center appropriately). ruthsentus RestoreRuthSentUs
It was his intention all along. He's just a troll himself.
It's going to be the same old echo chamber in here once the trolls and bigots take over... Happy Thanksgiving to those that remain...
WOW the gates of hell. How scared are all of you of our 1st amendment. You and your lies won’t be the voice in twitter. Everyone gets their voice. You don’t have to like it, just like we don’t like it when you LIE
Activist gonna activist. Who cares
well it’s obvious he’s not trying to make money by optimizing the site. he’s just embracing & emboldening the hate. what a 🐷!
The genie is out and looking for flying forks.
How about talk about the good he’s doing ?, or is it not gonna be good for you … fakenews
Nay, we return to ward off demons.
But that won't end Twitter officially censoring V4DC2 DCstatehood News, with ReplyDeboosting & DeThreading, etc, to delete voices from the public square without realizing the censorship is in place. Banning is powerful, but both sides at least symmetrically understand it.
Cry harder you unethical, lying, partisan hacks.
“Activists” fear opposing viewpoints , fixed that for ya
