There are new concerns after Twitter owner Elon Musk said he will grant “amnesty” to users who were kicked off the platform for various reasons.

“The people that were banned were the ones who had a lot of hate speech. They had a lot of threats. They caused a lot of anxiety for a lot of people,” Bajarin said.Twitter users NBC Bay Area talked with said they’re noticing more hate speech and worry the hate will eventually take shape in the form of violence.

“It’s poisoning our whole country’s atmosphere and not inconsiderably, leading to mass shootings and things like that,” said Concord resident Max Rief. Bajarin said Musk should be motivated to regulate hate speech and threats or face the loss of more advertising dollars from corporations concerned about their reputations.

I don’t agree with it by why is this news. He is allowed to do it. He owns the company

Let's get our boy Alex Jones back

What is dangerous is censorship. Didn’t any of you learn anything in high school?

Uh Oh Nazis Afraid.

He put his $$ out there to buy the platform. Elon can let anyone on or kick anyone off. My only wish is no hate bullshit and verify what you post.

Aww, is the left concerned that someone will hear a different opinion or the truth?

nbcbayarea trying to control the public opinion it seems. 72.4% of the votes said YES.

Only the libs are concerned. They preach for democracy but they are 100% against it. They want censorship and big government. It’s appallingly

The only concerns are among the members of the liberal academic, cultural, and media regime and those who advocate censorship in order to stifle the critics of the current corrupt regime

Whenever you hear the word 'concerns', watch your six.

Where’s Melissa

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? 😂. Your paper is on a mission to cancel conservatives while fully endorsing hate speech from the left. Your reporters are abandoning ship. Pot, kettle. We are grateful for elonmusk. Elon, come to IL soon. Would be glad to host you for dinner.

Twitter to Grant 'Amnesty' to Suspended Accounts, Elon Musk SaysNEW: 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. These are not the features we’ve been asking for. He doesn’t listen. I’m old enough to remember what an unmoderated internet was like. This decision to allow unfettered, unmoderated feee speech will drive out any voices of sanity and progress. Oh no! Not misinformation! 🙄
