«Comedy is now legal on twitter». This is one of the messages that she has left Elon Musk in the social network that it has bought for 44,000 million dollars, along with a «Living the Dream» which is the premiere of the states on twitter.
Musk’s idea is that the personalization of each account goes one step further. In the image of what can already be done in other networks, such as WhatsApp, tweeters will be able to set a phrase or an emoticon to show their mood. Ironically, it is something that was already done in the prehistory of Twitter but in a more organic way, directly in a tweet.
This is just one of the revolutions that the richest man in the world is going to implement on the bird’s social network. That he decided to fire three of the main managers as soon as he landed at his friend’s company Jack Dorseyfounder of Twitter, was quite a statement of intent.
“The Bird Has Been Released”
Musk has come to Twitter as a self-proclaimed liberator, which has raised many questions. Proof of this is that he is going to radically modify the policy on blocking and permanently suspending accounts.
“Twitter is going to create a content moderation council with very diverse points of view. No major content decisions will be made nor will accounts be restored before this council meets“, announced the tycoon.
Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints.
No major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes.

This can radically change suspensions, but also reinstatements. Many tweeters have seen how syour accounts were temporarily or permanently blocked because the algorithm of the social network identified as threats or potentially dangerous expressions phrases with a double meaning, jokes or directly messages that did not have any type of negative connotation. Now the possibility of being active again has been opened.
Following this announcement, many looked directly at the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, whose account was blocked on January 8, 2021, two days after the assault on the Capitol. Good friend of Musk, the former tenant of the White House He has denied that he will return to the social network which he turned into his favorite communication platform during his tenure. Musk already said a long time ago that he wanted to return the account.
