How Elon Musk Is Changing Twitter
Nearly six months after buying Twitter, Mr. Musk has made tweaks that have altered what people see on the platform and how they interact with it. Elon Musk has declared he wants to transform Twitter into an all-inclusive app that people can use for payments, news, and food orders. Let’s explore how he’s changing the Twitter experience.
A Renewed Focus on Content Moderation
One of the biggest changes that Elon Musk has made to Twitter since taking over is the renewed focus on content moderation. This has been an ongoing issue for the platform, which has struggled with trolls, hate speech, and misinformation for years. Mr. Musk has made it clear that he wants to clean up the platform and make it a more welcoming place for users.
One of the ways he’s done this is by introducing new features that allow users to report content more easily. For example, he’s added a new “report tweet” button that appears when you tap and hold on a tweet. This makes it easier for users to flag content that they find offensive or inappropriate.
In addition, Mr. Musk has also hired more moderators to help police the platform. This has led to more aggressive enforcement of the platform’s rules, including bans for users who violate the terms of service.
