Some suspended accounts are being reinstated on Twitter, as Elon Musk just shared the news by tweeting:
“New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter. You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.”
He then added:
“Kathie Griffin, Jorden Peterson & Babylon Bee have been reinstated. Trump decision has not yet been made.”
Musk clarified, “Note, this applies just to the individual tweet, not the whole account”.

A little less than a month after taking over Twitter, Musk has reinstated some high-profile accounts banned over “wrong think,” sharing a belief/fact that offended others.
While the decision has yet to be made in the case of former President Donald Trump’s account, this is a big move on Musk’s part holding to his word that he wanted a free speech town hall. It appears they are still working to decide if they will allow Trump back on.
Before announcing the news Musk tweeted “Freedom Fridays …”
Freedom Fridays …
