that seems like a wise step to me, the government kind of has to take a wait and see stance on the future of twitter. musk has given them zero reasons to assume anything he is involved with will go smoothly, or well. when the technology is working, musk is running his mouth, when he quits running his mouth, the technology quits working...

Yeah we need it for doing stuff like countering (at least trying) the disinformation campaigns that propagandists are conducing on our society during pandemics.

It's about brand safety and Beau had a video on it a week or so ago, companies don't want their ad appearing next to a Nazi tweet or racist tweet, it appears to endorse it. The Canadian and other governments won't advertise there, neither will large companies. Mastodon is growing in popularity and there are other platforms out there that celebrities will start using.
I don't tweet, but it is a good place to pick up news on the Ukraine war and recent events, but it must be curated, I only post curated tweets here, but sometimes misinformation slips through. The place is absolutely crawling with bots, trolls, propaganda and disinformation, it is one of Russia's major outlets for bullshit of all sorts including US election propaganda.

The outlier is SpaceX. The Falcon 9 is hitting all the marks. I am waiting to see about Shartsip though.

Twitter removes misinformation policies
Twitter’s rules under new CEO Elon Musk published Monday do not include policies about misinformation.
Musk said the rules will “evolve over time” but as they stand Monday they appear to offer a more bare skeleton of safety policies than what existed before.
The new rules do prohibit action such as the glorification of violence, promotion of terrorism, child sexual exploitation and targeted harassment. They also seek to limit users from impersonating others, and from publishing other people’s private information.
But the “Twitter Rules” do not include some of the policies the platform had in place before Musk took over the company as part of his $44 billion acquisition, including rules to mitigate misinformation about COVID-19 or crisis misinformation about areas in conflict, such as Ukraine.
The rules do state that users may not use Twitter’s services “for the purpose of manipulating or interfering in election of other civic processes.”
In a blog post from August, the company laid out additional rules in place ahead of the election including labeling “misleading information,” and directing users to information about voting with “prebunks.”
Those rules did not appear to be included in the rules published on Monday.
The Hill has reached out to a Twitter spokesperson for comment.
In response to a reporter on Twitter about whether the new rules mean Twitter is no longer enforcing its misinformation related policies, Twitter’s head of safety and integrity Yoel Roth said “no.”
The rollout comes amid widespread concerns from civil rights and other advocacy groups about the risk of rising hate speech and misinformation on Twitter under Musk, based on the CEOs previous comments about wanting to create his vision of a “free speech” platform with less content moderation measures in place.
Even before officially changing Twitter policies, advocacy group leaders slammed Musk’s decisions to lay off Twitter staff. They said those staffing changes would make it difficult for Twitter to moderate content at an acceptable level even if Musk didn’t change policies.

If he keeps this up, he'll appoint Trump as CEO of Twitter and Kayne West as the head of PR, Herschel can run accounting.

Elon owns a platform that will shit on him forever! The more involved he is with it, the worse it will be, there is competition in the social media marketplace. Once the celebrities and governments start joining them and promoting them on his platform with cross posts, he'll be screwed. The more he is on the platform and the more disinformation and hate on it, the more talented and creative people will leave it and then cross post to it from new accounts elsewhere. Advertisers concerned about "Brand Safety" will eschew a platform where their ad appears next to a racist or offensive tweet and appears to endorse it.
