NEW YORK - Twitter will provide a “general amnesty” to some suspended accounts from next week, said Elon Musk.
His announcement came after a poll asking Twitter users whether accounts that had “not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam” should be let back on the social media platform.
Accounts suspended on Twitter include Donald Trump’s former aide Steve Bannon, far-right UK commentator Katie Hopkins and David Duke, the former Ku Klux Klan chief.
Angelo Carusone, president of Media Matters, a media watchdog told Sky News that reversing the suspensions would mean “turning Twitter into a one-stop shop for operationalising doxxing and harassment, and an engine of radicalisation”.
Musk, the world's richest man bought Twitter for $44 billion (£36.3bn) last month.
