Musk could've triumphantly announced this as a free speech victory, much like he has with other policy and product changes he's wrought. Instead, he had it quietly take effect the day before Thanksgiving, and it had to be discovered by users. https://t.co/Z3zE2OOQxD — PolitiTweet.org

3. How transparent is the outlet about its process? How many sources does the report cite for its claim? How close are the sources to the action? Did they hear the claim second-hand, or were they in the room? The closer and more specific, the better. — PolitiTweet.org

Does Musk draw the line at all false claims about school shootings but not Covid misinfo, or only those false claims about school shootings made "for gain, politics or fame"? Who at Twitter defines and decides the threshold for those criteria? — PolitiTweet.org

Those conspiracy theories aren't what got Greene's account banned initially, so this suggests Musk is making a narrow determination based solely on the misleading Covid claims. But what will Musk do now about any politician's claim that a school shooting has been staged? — PolitiTweet.org

MTG's restoration is interesting for Twitter's future in that she had previously expressed support for fringe beliefs about school shootings similar to those Jones had spread (and that Musk seemed to reference in passionately justifying the Jones call). https://t.co/haxCNPROEn — PolitiTweet.org

Bezos was light on specifics, saying he and partner Lauren Sanchez are focused on building the capacity to give away lots of money. But he spoke of a desire to lift up “unifiers” in the face of deep political and social divisions and to continue fighting climate change. — PolitiTweet.org
