Current Events > Elon Musk to Unban almost everyone who has ever been banned on Twitter next week

(+) Yeah! (+)

Elon 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 platforms 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. It is not immediately clear how Musk and his team at Twitter will sort out which accounts had been banned for illegal or spam content versus other violations, nor how many total accounts will be restored.

Musk announced last week that he would restore the account of Donald Trump after another poll he posted on the platform ended slightly in favor of returning the former President, who had been banned following the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, to the platform. Musk has also restored the accounts of several other controversial, previously banned or suspended users, including conservative Canadian podcaster Jordan Peterson, right-leaning satire website Babylon Bee, comedian Kathy Griffin and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Wonder what would happen if SBAllen did that with Gamefaqs.

Well, it's probably about time I hit the dusty old trail then.

including the people he banned for making fun of him? or for suggesting that Telsa unionize? or the people who said things he disliked?

Okay. That's nice. And no one will be banned in the future no matter what they do? People will say worse and worse things if they know there are no consequences.

Enjoy the hellscape.

Must be getting really desperate

I had a Twitter account since 2009 and got banned earlier this year for responding to a racist Q psycho with "please take your meds".

To be honest I don't really see the appeal in being able to come back, given the quality of current Twitter.

That'll surely win over the advertisers.

It's a good thing that I don't use Twitter much, because this would otherwise be alarming...

RIP Twitter

but if theyve done something illegal they wont be unbanned! Since obviously the 3 mods left at Twitter have time to check out every banned account

I bet that insulting Elons fragile ass ego is a far worse crime than posting CP.

I voted for amnesty in this poll on Twitter.

Remember when the World Cup was supposed to break twitter?

I would want nothing else for twitter to die but the doomers get kinda annoying. Just like people that always say crypto is dead every time it dips.

god pls let apple and google delist twitter from there app stores

Nothing changes since this site has amnesia anyway.

50 of the top 100 have already quit. The biggest ones are Coca-Cola (one of the literal biggest advertisers on the planet) and Kraft Heinz.

Even more are gonna quit after this.
