Elon Musk, the new owner of Twitter, has announced the formation of a new “content moderation council,” featuring people with varying political viewpoints.
Musk completed his purchase of the social media company on Thursday night, announcing himself to be “Chief Twit” in his bio on the platform. Following the completion of the deal, Musk immediately fired CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Sagal, and notably head of “Trust and Safety”, Vijaya Gadde, who made the decision to deplatform 45th President Donald Trump.
The platform immediately abounded with rumours that Musk would immediately allow numerous people who had been banned from Twitter back onto the microblogging site, especially after the account of Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, was seemingly reinstated less than 24 hours following the acquisition.
However, Musk announced on Friday that Twitter would be shortly “forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints,” adding that “no major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes.” Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints. No major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes. It is unclear if Musk meant that only “major” account reinstatements would be held off until after the meeting of the council, as other users are reportedly getting back on the platform. Musk confirmed that Ye’s account was restored by Twitter before the acquisition, and he was not consulted in the decision. Ye’s account was restored by Twitter before the acquisition. They did not consult with or inform me. One major account may be that of Trump, who congratulated the billionaire for the Twitter acquisition, but suggested that he was happy to continue to post and use Truth Social.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
