Jan Lamprecht]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Twitter\u2019s new boss Elon Musk has announced he is rolling out a blanket amnesty for accounts that were permanently suspended on his recently acquired social media platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this week, Musk ran a poll to ask Twitter users if they\u2019d support such an amnesty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShould Twitter offer a general amnesty to suspended accounts, provided that they have not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam?\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than three million users voted in the poll, with nearly three-quarters of voters, 72.4%, voting \u201cyes,\u201d while just 27.6% voted \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After an overwhelming number of users voted in favor of the idea, Musk announced that he will begin rolling out the amnesty next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He revealed that Twitter will begin unbanning accounts en masse, except for those who broke the law or engaged in excessive spam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe people have spoken,\u201d Musk wrote after the poll concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAmnesty begins next week. Vox Populi, Vox Dei.\u201d<br>Musk has already unbanned a number of popular accounts that were permanently suspended before he took over as \u201cChief Twit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the poll ended, Musk seemed to indicate that in effect, the platform would significantly curtail content moderation to target illegal content and increase transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPlease limit content moderation to illegal content (or, at most, a narrow interpretation of moderation under Section 230) and give users the tools that enable the freedom to choose what content they see,\u201d Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton replied to the poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the general idea,\u201d Musk replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c[W]hatever it decides to do, twitter should be clear and consistent about it\u2019s rules and penalties for breaking them, enforcement should be unbiased, and the mechanisms of enforcement shouldn\u2019t be easily abused by people who have an agenda,\u201d Billy Markus, the creator of DogeCoin, replied to the poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musk agreed with Markus\u2019s suggestion, replying with the \u201c100\u201d and \u201cbullseye\u201d emojis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a separate tweet, Musk indicated that Twitter\u2019s old policies and enforcement methods were dishonest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe more I learn, the worse it gets,\u201d Musk said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe world should know the truth of what has been happening at Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTransparency will earn the trust of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter\u2019s blanket amnesty policy is Musk\u2019s latest move in his effort to restore free speech on the social media giant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under his leadership, Twitter has already restored the accounts of several high-profile conservative and right-leaning influencers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The list includes Christian satire site The Babylon Bee; &nbsp;renowned clinical psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson; conservative undercover investigative journalism outfit Project Veritas; and President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Slay News reported, Musk announced earlier this week that he plans to publish all of Twitter\u2019s internal discussions regarding the company\u2019s decision to block the Hunter Biden laptop story in the run-up to the 2020 election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is necessary to restore public trust,\u201d he said of the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/slaynews.com\/news\/elon-musk-announces-blanket-amnesty-suspended-twitter-users\/?utm_source=mailpoet&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=daily-newsletter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/slaynews.com\/news\/elon-musk-announces-blanket-amnesty-suspended-twitter-users\/?utm_source=mailpoet&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=daily-newsletter<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/JAN-LAMPRECHT-AND-PAUL-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/JAN-LAMPRECHT-AND-PAUL-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/JAN-LAMPRECHT-AND-PAUL-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/JAN-LAMPRECHT-AND-PAUL-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/JAN-LAMPRECHT-AND-PAUL-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/JAN-LAMPRECHT-AND-PAUL-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/JAN-LAMPRECHT-AND-PAUL-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/JAN-LAMPRECHT-AND-PAUL-1-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[This blows my mind.
