The purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk has been the talk of the town since he made his bid for the social network. However, the tycoon addressed the company’s workers for the first time this week, proposing some of the courses of action he wanted to implement to guarantee the freedom of expression of the service’s users.
Musk ilustra su idea de libertad de expresión para Twitter
So said Musk during a forum he held yesterday with employees from Twitter, where the new owner of the social network a network refers to all nodes in the operation of a blockchain at any given moment in time. expressed some of his concerns about the policy that had followed the social network in relation to the moderation of content, presenting in turn a first approach to the vision he has on the “freedom of expression on the platform a place to buy, sell and store cryptocurrency .
Musk said the ideal is to allow everyone to say what they want to share without censorship, even if the content of the posts may be controversial or objectionable under the old standards:
“I think it’s essential to have freedom of expression, and for people to be able to communicate freely.”
However, although Musk is in favor of having room for everything, even the socially questionable, he also pointed out that there should be systems that minimize the scope and dissemination of content that is clearly harmful or offensive. This would maintain that balance where you could express what you want to communicate, but limit the spread a price difference between asking and selling prices of the asset. if it violates basic norms.
In this regard, the tycoon said:
“There is freedom of speech and freedom to amplify content… Anyone could stand in the middle of Times Square right now and say whatever they want. They can stand in Times Square and deny the Holocaust… but that doesn’t mean you need to bring that message to millions of people. So I think people should have the freedom to say things that are totally unacceptable within the bounds of the law, but that don’t get broadcast and don’t get a wide reach.”
Concerns about Musk’s ideas
Although these words paint a clearer picture of Musk’s idea of freedom of speech, this perspective does not seem to be very popular with employees at Twitter, who have expressed their concern about certain key aspects pointed out by the tycoon.
According to reports issued by networks such as CNBC y CNN, the questioning of the employees of Twitter point to Musk’s ideas on issues such as content moderation. Until now, the social network has had a fairly strict perspective on the nature of certain publications, and this would represent a major change change — a concept relevant to cryptocurrencies that use the UTXO model — is the number of coins sent back to a user after they use their unspent outputs to initiate a transaction. to the model that has been used until today.
For Musk this is a key aspect, as he indicated in messages posted through his official account, he did not have the feeling that Twitter to allow users total freedom of expression. Perhaps among the most controversial examples at the time was the expulsion of former US President Donald Trump, who was characterized by very controversial publications that motivated actions inside and outside the social network among his followers and detractors.
Another aspect that also generates conflicting positions among the workers in the Twitter is Musk’s perspective on remote work. Recall that the owner of Tesla y SpaceX called on the members of their companies to resume attendance, under threat of dismissal to all those who did not agree with the measure.
Purchase of Twitter has been shaken
Another thing that also caught the attention of many is that Musk’s meeting with the employees of Twitter took place despite the fact that the purchase of the social network has not materialized, this because of the tycoon’s doubts about the alleged fulfillment of the conditions set.
Musk originally proposed in early April of this year to acquire the social network for $44 billion, but earlier this month he hinted at the possibility of backing out of what he considered to be a “clear material breach” The company did not provide it with accurate data on spam levels and bot activity on the platform.
In a communication sent by Musk’s team to the legal direction of Twitter, se lee:
“This is a clear material breach of Twitter’s obligations under the merger agreement and Mr. Musk reserves all resulting rights, including his right not to consummate the transaction and his right to terminate the merger agreement.”
Let’s keep in mind that the purchase of Twitter was also temporarily suspended in mid-May, until it could be verified and ensured that less than 5% of the social network’s users are fake.
