Elon Musk polls Twitter users about whether he should step down
The HinduElon Musk is asking Twitter’s users to decide if he should stay in charge of the social media platform after acknowledging he made a mistake Sunday in launching new speech restrictions that banned mentions of rival social media websites. In yet another drastic policy change, Twitter had announced that users will no longer be able to link to Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon and other platforms the company described as “prohibited.” But the move generated so much immediate criticism, including from past defenders of Twitter's new billionaire owner, that Mr. Musk promised not to make any more major policy changes without an online survey of users. Mr. Musk said Twitter will still suspend some accounts according to the policy but “only when that account’s primary purpose is promotion of competitors.” Twitter previously took action to block links to Mastodon after its main Twitter account tweeted about the @ElonJet controversy last week. He then took aim at journalists who were writing about the jet-tracking account, which can still be found on other social media sites, alleging that they were broadcasting “basically assassination coordinates.” He used that to justify Twitter's moves last week to suspend the accounts of numerous journalists who cover the social media platform and Mr. Musk, among them reporters working for The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, Voice of America and other publications. Sally Buzbee, The Washington Post's executive editor, called it an “arbitrary suspension of another Post journalist” that further undermined Mr. Musk’s promise to run Twitter as a platform dedicated to free speech.
