Elon Musk thinks Twitter hinders free speech.
Elon Musk, CEO of electric car company Tesla recently posted an article on Twitter saying he is “seriously thinking” about building a new social networking platform, geared towards users’ freedom of speech. This intention of Elon Musk comes from the fact that he thinks Twitter hinders freedom of speech.
Elon Musk asserts that Twitter has failed to build an environment that allows users to free speech, which goes against the goal of democracy.
A few days ago, Musk also opened a Twitter poll on whether the social network was following the principles of free speech. More than 70% of the participants answered “no”.
Therefore, Elon Musk wishes to build a platform with open source algorithms. And this social network will prioritize freedom of speech and limit information dissemination.
According to Reuters, if Elon Musk’s social network becomes a reality, it will attract a large number of users on other social networks such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
According to Fox Business, over the years Twitter has received a lot of criticism for restricting freedom of speech from conservatives.
Last week, Elon Musk’s petition to Manhattan Federal Court to rescind his 2018 agreement alleging that censorship of his Twitter posts became ineffective and impeded his free speech was rejected. . As a result, his Twitter posts will continue to be monitored by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and must be approved before posting.
