Newly minted Twitter owner Elon Musk said Friday afternoon that the social media company “will be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints.”

That means suspended accounts like the one held by former President Donald Trump won’t immediately return to Twitter. “No major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes,” Musk added. In the wake of Musk’s $44 billion acquisition of Twitter\n \n , questions have been raised about whether the billionaire will reverse permanent bans, allowing people like Trump back onto the platform.

Trump has previously said he would remain on his platform, Truth Social, instead of rejoining Twitter, but a change in his approach could hold major political implications, as November’s midterm elections near and Trump shifts his focus to 2024 and his political future. Throughout Trump’s White House tenure, Twitter was central to his presidency, a fact that also benefited the company in the form of countless hours of user engagement.

Content moderation council, they will only accept the viewpoints that agree with their agenda.

Elon musk buying Twitter is a welcome development to all social media and especially to Twitter company that the government wants to have dominance over.

jaketapper Trump is already back on Twitter.

jaketapper That Musk personally assembles

jaketapper Hopefully Instagram will be implementing A news feed soon. I’m looking forward to watching what’s trending leave Elon naturally. Like a cool kid runs from a geek if they persist eh

Less Dollar! More Work !!

Good to hear. Twitter should be for news and discussions; not hate and offensive nudity and swearing.

jaketapper FB already tried this. Doesn’t work.

jaketapper 1). Never before has it flourished so much discrimination against women and minorities on Twitter like it does now 😫 Regardless of who owns Twitter has the platform a responsibility to safeguard freedom of expression, the right not to be discriminated

So bots with wildly different viewpoints

jaketapper Different from the last one, how?

That's good news! Both that Trump won't immediately be back AND they're really going to think hard about content moderation policy. I wish them luck on solving a hard problem.

jaketapper And I’ll be off Twitter!

jaketapper I'm sure the Kremlin will be well represented.

jaketapper That will go great. Cesspool of people moderating the cesspool that is Twitter.

Skits of people sitting around a table, and one is Hitler, are writing themselves.

I hope Musk understands that not all view points are equal. Viewpoints of lies and hate should not have equal weight as truth and justice.

jaketapper Kanye.Elon.Trump.

And we go live to elonmusk content moderation panel.

I have a feeling that Elon Musk is not as threatening as you should be. Because he is also a devout Christian. Twitter gets plus-sized. Amen

Aka fascists ideas ✨🙏

and I thought you can only be banned for some specified reasons and not because some Russians decide so …
