TWTR is going to "manage" content, they have to, maybe less than before, but at some point a platform just becomes so rife with obvious garbage and disinformation it no longer is appealing to anyone sane. I think over time we'll see less change than some hope and expect, or it devolves into an absolute mess of BS.
of course there will be content moderation. you can't have a place be a cesspool. no one will want to use it. breaking the law (inciting violence, crime) and bullying and harassment will always be dealt with.
what you won't have however is Twitter censoring the oldest newspaper in America for reporting a
TRUE story. You won't have them banning a f**king sitting President of the United States of America either. You won't have people getting banned for talking about the possibility of the coronavirus leaking out of a lab- which is what Twitter was doing at the height of the pandemic. You won't have parody accounts getting banned for posting memes (Babylon Bee). All of these things were
HIGHLY inappropriate and just flat out wrong.
Probably also won't have the stupid "fact checkers" anymore either- who are mostly compromised and have conflicts of interest and get sh*t wrong just as much as they get it right.
Twitter algorithm will be open source- nothing hidden- nothing in the dark- (like it is now)- we'll get to see exactly how it works.
Musk needs to fire all of the partisan hacks in the "content moderation" division- really just fire the entire division, get rid of all the "fact checkers" and warning labels on Tweets, reinstate people like Trump and Alex Jones, open up the algorithm and bring it to the sunlight and you'll see Twitter probably grow. Twitter has lost immense amounts of credibility because of all of the insane policies they had been implemented by unhinged left wing authoritarian nutjobs who took control of the company and chopped Dorsey's balls off. Musk is going to take a chainsaw to the company and fire all of those pink haired I need a safe space and a warm blanket mommy losers.
