Elon Musk may be Twitter’s most prolific user.He’s made multi-million-dollar decisions – and mistakes – on the platform. From asking followers whether he should sell his Tesla stock to pay more tax to copping a $US40 million fine for tweeting that he’d sell Tesla shares for $420 .After sharing that he had quietly become Twitter’s largest shareholder by securing a 9.
These "less ambitious changes" would be a long time coming, said Terry Flew, Professor of Digital Communications and Culture at the University of Sydney. It's no secret Twitter isn't keeping up with other social media platforms and retaining active users, he added. “It’s just really important that people have both the reality and the perception that they are able to speak freely within the bounds of the law,” Musk said.
Dr Gelber, who heads the school of Political Science and International Studies at the University of Queensland and has researched freedom of speech, said such a relaxation of content moderation could open the door to greater hate speech, racism, and misinformation on a platform that is already rife with it.“For him to say he's doing this for free speech is just a fallacy. It's just wrong.
The consequence to hate speech could be limiting how often the tweet appears in other people’s feeds, removing the tweet, or suspending the account if the primary purpose of the account is to spout hate. Mr Flew told The Feed a potential takeover from Musk with the push for "free speech" may just see it shift from a "left-wing platform to a right-wing platform."'This is about democracy, not money'
Ian Ramsay, an Emeritus Professor of Law at the University of Melbourne, explains how the "poison pill" works.
