The new owner of the social network Twitter, Elon Musk, announced this Friday the creation of a “content moderation board”, which will be responsible for making decisions about the restoration of some profiles blocked by the previous administration of this platform.
“Twitter will form a content moderation council with very diverse views. No major content decisions or account resets will be made until this council meets,” Musk wrote on the social network.
The announcement came seconds after several US media outlets repeated the news that rapper Kanye West (now Ye) had regained access to his account.
Twitter decided to block the singer’s profile in early October after playing anti-Semitic comments.
Ye’s comments led to the termination of contracts with several brands, including German sportswear company Adidas.
Musk, the chief executive of Tesla and SpaceX, completed a $44 billion purchase of Twitter (a similar cost in euros) and fired top managers.
Thus, the company’s shareholders will receive 54.20 US dollars (about 54.4 euros) for each share, and the social network will become the property of a patron who has already announced plans to change Twitter’s content moderation policy, relying on “greater freedom of expression” . “.
