Elon Musk plans to reinstate nearly all previously banned Twitter accounts to the alarm of activists and online trust and safety experts.
After posting a Twitter poll asking, Should Twitter offer a general amnesty to suspended accounts, provided that they have not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam? in which 72.4 percent of the respondents voted yes, Musk declared, Amnesty begins next week.
The Twitter CEO did not respond Thursday to a request for comment from The Post. The poll garnered more than 3 million votes.
The mass return of users who had been banned for such offenses as violent threats, harassment, abuse and misinformation would have a significant impact on the platform, experts said. And many questioned how such a resurrection would be handled, given that its unclear what Musk means by egregious spam and the difficulty of separating out users who have broken the law, which vary widely by jurisdiction and country.
