According to AFP, a survey released by Twitter’s new owner and CEO Elon Musk found an overwhelming majority in favor of restoring suspended accounts on the platform.

72.4 percent of the roughly 3.16 million people who voted said “yes” to Musk’s question about whether Twitter should offer “a blanket amnesty to suspended accounts as long as they didn’t break the law or send out egregious spam.” .

On Thursday, the leader did not immediately react to the results of his survey.

He has already consulted with Twitter users to decide whether Donald Trump can return to the platform.

The former US president was banned from social media after storming the Capitol in Washington in January 2021 due to possible violence.

Trump’s account was reinstated after a slim majority (51.8%) of 15 million voters voted to reinstate the billionaire Republican.

Musk’s use of polls to determine Twitter’s direction runs counter to a promise he made shortly after buying the company.

The head of Tesla did announce the imminent formation of a “moderation board with a wide range of views.”

“No major decisions regarding content or account recovery will be made until this board meets,” he tweeted.

But the world’s richest man reneged on that promise, accusing “social and political activists” of trying to “kill Twitter by draining our advertising revenue,” which makes up 90 percent of the company’s revenue.

This strategy, according to the boisterous entrepreneur, is a violation of the agreement on the creation of the moderation board.

Several major brands, including Volkswagen, General Motors and General Mills, announced they were suspending their ad spending on Twitter after Musk bought it.
