“ Twitter files on free speech suppression will soon be released by Twitter itself. The public deserves to know what really happened... " Elon Musk, CEO of Twitter, said in his post.
Elon Musk announced in the spring of 2022 that he would buy the majority of the shares of the Twitter company and would also make the platform a main square for freedom of speech. The businessman subsequently took control of the interface at the end of October and made a number of radical changes, including unblocking former US President Donald Trump's blocked account and announcing an "amnesty" for previously suspended users of the site.
Right-wing critics have long criticized the platform for what they say are unfair and vague regulations, which have led Twitter to censor and even suspend certain accounts in the past.
Fox News pointed out.
Elon Musk has received a lot of criticism since taking over the platform. Among other things, Guy Verhofstadt, a liberal member of the European Parliament, called for Musk to be "held accountable" within the framework of a hearing held in the EP, saying that European values should also apply to Twitter, the Fox News channel reported .
Joe Biden's son's scandal and Twitter censorship
Fox News also drew attention to the fact that in 2020, Twitter blocked the New York Post's October article that exposed Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden.
According to the newspaper, traces of compromising correspondence were found on Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop , among other things, regarding his business relationships in Ukraine. The medium also found a Ukrainian-Chinese letter of intent to export grain from July 2018.
According to the document, the Ukrainian energy company Burisma expressed its intention to export grain from Ukraine to China as part of the China-Ukraine Silk Road project. The statement was also signed by Hunter Biden, who was a member of Burisma's board of directors at the time.
Already last week, it was suggested that certain documents could be made public, as the lead producer of one of the programs of the Newsmax media company encouraged the users of the platform in a Tweet to
„raise your hand if you think Elon Musk should release all internal discussions about the censorship decision for the New York Post article about Hunter Biden's laptop for the sake of transparency, even before the 2020 US presidential election before”.
In his response, the tech billionaire already indicated: "This is necessary to restore the trust of the community."
