'AMNESTY' FOR SUSPENDED TWITTER ACCOUNTS
New Twitter owner Elon Musk said Thursday, Nov. 24, 2022 (Friday in Manila) that he is granting “amnesty” for suspended accounts, which online safety experts predict will spur a rise in harassment, hate speech and misinformation. The billionaire’s announcement came after he asked in a poll posted to his timeline to vote on reinstatements for accounts that have not “broken the law or engaged in egregious spam.” The yes vote was 72%. Musk used the same Latin phrase after posting a similar poll last weekend before reinstating the account of former president Donald Trump, which Twitter had banned for encouraging the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. Trump has said he won’t return to Twitter but has not deleted his account.
