| Elon Musk / @elonmusk: |
[Thread] Elon Musk says a “new Twitter policy” will deboost and demonetize “negative/hate tweets” and reinstates Kathy Griffin, Jordan Peterson, and Babylon Bee — New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter. You won't find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.
