NewsletterJust In: Elon Musk Says To Resolve Twitter Shadowban Issue
Hours after officially acquiring Twitter, Elon Musk said he would look into shadowbanning and ghostbanning issue on the platform. The Tesla CEO was quick to make his moves immediately after taking over the social media company. As his first official act after taking control, Musk fired top executives including CEO Parag Aggarwal. In a latest, the new Twitter owner began working on the platform’s censorship and bots issue.
Drop In Twitter Follower Count
In the past, several Twitter users faced the issue of drop in follower count on a regular basis. In this context, Musk responded to a query from a user who complained of shadowbanning and ghostbanning. Catturd, a Twitter account with around 8.50 lakh followers, said his follower count continued to drop. Many a times, users complained of restrictions including regular drop in number of followers. Elon Musk reacted to this saying will be digging in on the issue.
“As of now, I am still shadowbanned, ghostbanned, searchbanned, and Twitter removed 1200 followers today – as usual.”
The potential resolution to Twitter shadowban goes in line with Musk’s larger vision to create a common digital town square in future. Musk said he wants Twitter to be ‘warm and welcoming to all’. Overall, he wants to turn the platform into a less restrictive platform, including to solve the Twitter bots issue. Meanwhile, it is reported that Elon Musk will become the new chief executive officer of Twitter.
Binance Equity In Twitter
In what could be a key development for the crypto community and the industry’s future, Binance said it took part in the Twitter deal. Changpeng Zhou, the chief executive officer of the exchange, confirmed Binance’s equity stake in Twitter takeover. With this, Binance becomes the first company from the cryptocurrency space to take part in the Elon Musk venture.
