O twitter may be re-evaluating its policies on permanent bans. According to published the Financial Timesthe social network would be looking for alternatives to align content moderation with the vision of its buyer Elon Musk. Even so, Donald Trump, who had his account closed after violating the platform’s guidelines, should not have his profile reactivated.
Today, Twitter considers a lifetime suspension to be the highest level of punishment. Such as the company itself claimsthe accounts are removed forever, and the offender is not allowed to create new accounts.
According to Financial Times, Twitter has been reevaluating its policies for a few months now. According to the report, the platform wants to review the way it deals with content considered harmful – which include: disinformation, hate speech and incitement to violence.
Still according to FTthe company would not only be looking for ways to avoid lifetime bans, it would also be looking closely at its moderation methods.
Today, they include controls where users can choose who replies to their tweets, read warnings that provide context for a post, and warning labels on public posts and accounts.
Asked about this, Twitter said it was “always looking at the rules” as well as “the tools and resources that can encourage healthy conversation.”
“Our core principles – choice and control, transparency, legitimacy, and fairness – have guided our work for years, and as the public conversation continues to evolve, so will our approach.”
Trump’s return to the platform may not happen
Amid the deal to buy Twitter, Elon Musk criticized the social network for being, according to him, too restrictive when it came to moderating speeches.
Last April, Musk reached defending Twitter as an “arena for freedom of expression” and that the platform has become a “de facto square”.
A month later, the businessman said he would remove the Permanent ban of former US President Donald Trumpin case he actually buy the company.
However, in this scenario, the report by the Financial Times says that reversal is unlikely, given that Twitter would not be re-evaluating bans for those who violated its policy against incitement to violence.
The company’s focus would be to reverse the suspension of accounts suspected of “minor” offenses, such as: dissemination of false information, for example.
Last weekend, Twitter restricted Kanye West’s account and said it had removed anti-Semitic posts — such as informed the Reuters.
