The accounts that had been suspended from the platform will be given a general pardon, according to Musk. The CEO asked if the platform should restore accounts.
After running a similar poll, Musk ended Donald Trump's ban from the platform. After the attack on the U.S. Capitol, Trump was banned from the platform.
Musk included a caveat that suspended account holders could rejoin the platform if they didn't break the law. A majority of users voted in favor of amnesty.
People have spoken. Next week will be the start of a human rights organization. The voice of the people is the voice of god according to Musk.
Historically, there has been a ban on accounts that promote hate and harassment, as well as accounts that spread misinformation that can lead to harm. The CEO of MyPillow, who made a series of claims that Trump actually won the 2020 presidential election, is one of the people banned.
Now that more potentially problematic voices will be returning to the platform, it is not clear what will be done with moderation in the future. Musk's mass layoffs and the general exodus of employees who quit than be "hardcore" have made these concerns worse.
