Elon Musk’s Twitter deal: Five changes expected at the platform

Al Jazeera  

Elon Musk has promised a series of reforms to the microblogging platform, including relaxing content restrictions. Free speech and content moderation Musk has frequently expressed the opinion that Twitter’s content moderators intervene too much on the platform. Zeve Sanderson of the NYU Center for Social Media and Politics told Al Jazeera, “If he undoes a lot of the work that has been done to combat hate speech and misinformation, that’s going to be a bad day for Twitter.” The introduction of the Edit button Twitter earlier said it is working on an edit button that would allow users to change tweets after they have been posted. Musk said this will help prevent “behind the scenes manipulation” such as fuelling massive foreign propaganda, which Facebook has been accused of during former US President Donald Trump’s campaign. The price of Dogecoin shares popped following news of Twitter’s buyout deal with Musk, who has been a proponent of the cryptocurrency and has gone so far as to call himself the “Dogefather”.
