The platform will begin unbanning accounts en masse, except for those who broke the law or engaged in excessive spam, next week, he tweeted in response to the results. Musk has already unbanned a number of popular accounts that were permanently suspended before he took over as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/chief-twit-elon-musk-arrives-at-twitters-headquarters-let-that-sink-in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chief Twit<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Musk tweeted a poll asking whether or not to unban users that had been permanently suspended. \u201cShould Twitter offer a general amnesty to suspended accounts, provided that they have not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam?\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>More than three million users voted in the poll, and the vote was overwhelmingly in favor of amnesty; nearly three-quarters of voters, 72.4%, voted \u201cyes,\u201d while just 27.6% voted \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people have spoken,\u201d Musk wrote after the poll concluded. \u201cAmnesty begins next week.

In a separate tweet, he indicated that Twitter\u2019s policies and enforcement methods were dishonest. \u201cThe more I learn, the worse it gets,\u201d Musk said. \u201cThe world should know the truth of what has been happening at Twitter.

Under his leadership, the social media giant has already restored the accounts of several high-profile conservative and right-leaning influencers. The list includes: Christian satire site <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-elon-musk-restores-the-babylon-bees-twitter-account-let-that-sink-in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Babylon Bee<\/a>, which likely played a role in Musk\u2019s decision to buy Twitter in the first place;\u00a0 clinical psychologist and DailyWire+ host <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-jordan-peterson-restored-to-twitter-by-elon-musk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Jordan B.

Conservatives slammed Musk last week after he announced that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/elon-musk-faces-backlash-over-new-policy-on-mean-tweets-meet-the-new-boss-same-as-the-old-boss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mean tweets<\/a>\u00a0would be aggressively de-boosted, effectively keeping the same \u201cshadowbanning\u201d policies that were in effect by Twitter before he took over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach,\u201d Musk tweeted. \u201cNegative\/hate tweets will be max deboosted &#038; demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter. You won\u2019t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe very concept of deboosting should not even exist because there shouldn\u2019t be an algorithm on twitter,\u201d one user fired back. \u201cYour timeline should just show the tweets that are posted in the order they are posted. Period. Don\u2019t like it? Block\/unfollow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou paid this guy $8 to make shadowbanning real LMAO,\u201d another user mocked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOk how is this any different than the previous policy?\u201d added another. \u201cPeople\u2019s tweets suppressed because a biased rando at twitter thinks a tweet is mean or mad?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced a blanket amnesty for Twitter users permanently suspended from the platform.
