Twitter Says That its Moderation Policies Have Not Changed in Light of Musk Takeover
In the past, many former associates and business partners of Elon Musk have noted that he’s not the guy that he appears to be based on his tweets. Musk takes a more rational, measured and professional approach in his business dealings, and while he may look to stoke controversy with his various comments and opinions, he also knows that, in order to make the business work, he needs to compromise and stay within the rules, as governed in each region.
Essentially, what Elon says and what he does are often very different things, which is an important note when assessing his direction for Twitter, and his tweeted edicts.
Today, EU Commissioner Thierry Breton met with Musk to discuss Twitter’s recent change in management, and its future alignment with the EU Digital Services Act (DSA), which includes various provisions around content moderation and user safety, that Musk’s new Twitter team will have to comply with in order to continue operating in the EU region.
