As new owner Musk continues to transition the platform to fit his vision of freedom of speech, he quietly stopped enforcement of the Covid misinformation policy last week.
The Vanity Fair Oscar Party was hosted by Graydon Carter.
The line added to the report said that the platform's policy wouldn't be enforced until November 23.
The company did not make a formal announcement that it was ending the policy, but it is similar to Musk's recent actions.
The company said that in 2020 it began to remove content and suspend accounts that were found to contain misinformation about Covid.
A total of 97,674 pieces of content have been removed from the platform.
The previous policy of removing Covid misinformation was applauded by health professionals.
Musk said that the platform would not promote and demonetize negative content and hate speech, and that users would only be able to find it if they specifically look for it. Even before he bought the platform for $44 billion, Musk criticized the handling of the Pandemic and shared questionable comments about Covid. Recent moves by Musk include reinstating accounts that had previously been banned. The tenure of Musk at the tech company has been rocky, with the company losing advertising revenue due to brands suspending spending over concerns of the direction Musk will lead the company. Musk said on Monday that Apple had threatened to remove it from the App Store. Half of the company's workforce was let go earlier this month.
On Monday, Musk said that he would be releasing something on the platform that was related to free speech.
There is a reason why Apple might have threatened to remove the account from the app store.
