Oh goodness. The boring north-south stuff. Give it a rest. You sound like the people who grew up with on an estate and are still there.
Do we have regional Twitter?

Shouldn't a moderator hit them if they violate the Terms of Use?The fact you don't engage with it means you are out of the discussion, since Musk has come out and told people he has bought Twitter those activists are now up in arms because other twitter users might be able to question their stance without a moderators hammer hitting them.

You respect him accusing innocent people of being pedo's, jsut because he was ridiculed about his empty gestures? He might have been cleared but he still came out and did that.I totally understand this but he's already said that the algorithm is a problem and so he'll make it open-source so anyone and everyone can view it or even change it. Everything that he has suggested so far would be an improvement and is the opposite of what a controlling billionaire would do. He's certainly no Rupert Murdoch and I respect him a lot because he's a very successful technologist above all else.
This is all in comparison to the current model which is a board of billionaires and foreign companies own and control the algorithm. He's more than stuck two fingers up at those people and it can't be about money because he's stumped up £35bn in cash which he will probably never see again so let's watch this space.
If that happened now, well I guess we should just trust that he wouldnt have used Twitter to poison opinions on that case.
He's used twitter to increase his share prices, the guy cannot be trusted from what I have seen.
Hopefully he will do good with it, but Ive seen enough over the years to know someone who sepnds that much on social influencing has an awful lot of interest in influencing people. Maybe he just wants the associated power that comes with it. Presidents will fall over backwards for him now
....and there it is. He's in favour of free speech until it's illegal. Guess what? So was the previous board of twitter. Trump & everyone else who's banned got kicked off because they did things that made twitter legally culpable for their hate speech/incitement/libel.
Nothing is going to change.
so you are of the opinion Elon has paid 44billion to keep twitter as it is.Nothing is going to change.
He has already stated that spam reduction is his number one prio, follwed by user authenication, and open source algos for content.
Quite a lot of nothing when you think about it.

Again, we will see soon enough when the rules set by twitter change.

Spam reduction was already a priority, user authentication will never happen and the EU was already forcing them to make the algorithm open source.
He's bought this out of vanity. The interest on the borrowed money alone is more than Twitter's entire revenue.
This is what he does. Flint Michigan water poisoning is in the news? He promises to fix it. Never does. Kids trapped in a cave in Thailand? Tries to be the hero, fails and calls the actual hero a pedophile.
Everything he does is to get attention, even down to paying the actual founders of Tesla to let him use the title of "founder" for a company he didn't found.
