Elon Musk said Tuesday that if he could take control of Twitter, he would remove the permanent suspension of Donald Trump’s account decided after the Capitol Hill attack, calling it “pointless” and “morally nad”.
I think, that was a mistake, because it isolated many countries and ultimately did not prevent Donald Trump from being heard.since he is now on his own social network, he underlined the businessman at a conference organized by FinancialTimes.
The multi-billionaire recently made an agreement to buy the social network for 44 billion dollars.
The former US president was banned from Twitter on January 8, 2021 because of the risk of inciting violence following the violent attack on the Capitol.
Mr. Trump himself has ruled not to return to the social network.
What do I want to try to say […] that Trump’s ban from Twitter doesn’t stop him from speaking outadded Mr. Musk, who believes it is equal strengthen [sa parole] to the right.
There should be a permanent ban very rare and reserved examples for false accounts, the trader estimates.
This does not mean that anyone can say whatever they want if they say something illegal or destructive to the world., added Mr. Musk. But then consider temporary suspensions or tweets made invisible where with very limited coverage.
But I think permanent bans are primarily undermining trust in Twitter as a public place where everyone can express their opinion.he says.
The richest man in the world decided to buy Twitter to make it a private company, not listed on the stock exchange, and wanted to make it a bastion of freedom of expression, which he considers to be ignored by too strict content moderation.
Monday, after the visit of the European Commissioner for the Internal Market, Thierry Breton, in Texas, however, the businessman assured that he fully agrees with the new European rules on the regulation of social networks, which will hinder major platforms to better fight against illegal content.
