Twitter Censorship Surged Since Elon Musk Took Over, Report Concludes

Twitter has become increasingly strict in its censorship policies since Elon Musk joined the platform. According to a report by the Media Research Center, the number of tweets censored by Twitter surged by over 200 percent after Musk’s arrival. The report analyzed the platform’s transparency center and found that Twitter has become more aggressive in labeling and removing tweets. Additionally, many users who criticized Musk or his businesses were targeted for restrictions or suspensions. Musk’s tweets often garner significant attention, and his influence on the platform has been controversial. The report suggests that Twitter’s actions may be linked to Musk’s significant following and the fear of his potentially negative impact on its brand. The findings highlight the concern over social media censorship and the role of powerful figures in shaping online discourse. In a time when social media has become a crucial part of public discourse, transparency in the moderation of content becomes increasingly important, and it raises further concerns about free speech on the internet.
