On Friday, Twitter restored dozens of accounts which were banned in recent years in a sign of how different things have become on the site under the leadership of Elon Musk.
This is not entirely unexpected. Musk promised to do this a few weeks ago.
CNN reported on November 25th:
Elon Musk says he will begin restoring previously banned Twitter accounts next weekElon Musk said Thursday that he will begin restoring most previously banned accounts on Twitter starting next week, in his most wide-reaching move yet to undo the social media platform’s policy of permanently suspending users who repeatedly violated its rules.“The people have spoken,” Musk tweeted on Thursday. “Amnesty begins next week. Vox Populi, Vox Dei.”The announcement comes after Musk on Wednesday polled his followers about whether to offer “general amnesty to suspended accounts, provided that they have not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam.”The poll, which closed around 12:45 pm ET on Thursday, finished with 72.4% voting in favor of the proposition and 27.6% voting against. The poll garnered more than 3 million votes on Twitter.
