Musk isn’t a fan of permanent bans, and has expressed his displeasure in the past over the suspension of Donald Trump’s account. With Twitter now under his sole ownership, there was strong speculation that he would bring back the de-platformed personalities like Trump and Alex Jones. That won’t happen any time soon, it seems.
Musk says he will soon form a “content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints” that will take a look at all moderation and policy enforcement-related affairs. He tweeted that no decisions related to reinstating a banned account will be taken before a meeting of this council, adding that so far there are no changes from the existing Twitter policies.
To be super clear, we have not yet made any changes to Twitter’s content moderation policies https://t.co/k4guTsXOIu

Details are thin on whether this council will consist of independent experts — the way Meta’s Oversight Board operates — or if it only accepts in-house legal and policy experts from within the ranks of Twitter employees. Either way, the stakes are high, especially with Musk sitting at the top and his shifting geopolitical inclinations from time to time.
