"New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted and demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to twitter," Musk said via Twitter.Users won’t find deboosted tweets unless they specifically seek them out, Musk said; however, the deboost will only apply to individual tweets and not whole accounts.Additionally, Twitter reinstated the accounts of comedian Kathy Griffin, psychologist Jordan Peterson and satirical news outlet Babylon Bee, Musk said. However, when a user suggested Twitter reinstate the account of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Musk simply replied, "No."Musk, who acquired Twitter for $44 billion, said he planned to bolster protections for free speech on the platform. Last month, the billionaire entrepreneur said Twitter would form a "content moderation council" with diverse viewpoints to help govern the platform’s policies.
