Twitter ends Covid disinformation policy

Repeat offenders may be suspended for a few hours or even indefinitely, but not have their accounts closed.

Twitter has ended policies to combat false information about the coronavirus pandemic.

According to the announcement, the company has not taken against the posts that violate the regulations for this virus. Twitter previously announced that by September it had suspended more than 11,000 accounts for spreading false information about COVID-19.

Its other misinformation policies apply to the company. No action will be taken against accounts that post misinformation once on Twitter. Repeat offenders can be suspended for hours, days – or even indefinitely.

although the progress of the social media states that the reporting system of Communication on Twitter was not open again, since only during 2020 the company was aware of the widespread misinformation account.

Meanwhile, Twitter has restored the personal account of American congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, banned in January. Millions of members voted to reinstate suspended accounts in a Twitter message, with Elon Musk tweeting: “The people have spoken… amnesty starts next week.”

The CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, has vowed to make Twitter the space of freedom of speech, after buying this platform for 44 billion dollars. Changes and chaos in the organizational aspect of the platform are the first weeks that Musk became the owner of Twitter. It has managers and some other employees for privacy security, withdrawing control.
