Elon has already let Kanye back on Twitter

Kanye was banned from Twitter for inciting violence against Jews. His account was reactivated today so he can spew more Antisemitism.

Trump will definitely be back soon to spew more hate and violence.

Glad I deactivated my account last week. I won't take part in a violent, hateful cesspool like that.

I called him a sH@t head and thus violated the code of conduct twice.

Less than 24 hours since Musk took over Twitter and I'm in trouble, and I don't care.

But then, he also said he would send a human to Mars by 2021 so yep he's full of s*** as usual

Which is almost certainly a factor that Musk has to take into consideration, if he wants to have a viable business model, despite his big 'free speech' boasts.

No one particularly wants to have their add run opposite a venomous racist spiel - or the dude saying George Floyd killed himself.

with this story - and many sites are now backtracking from headlines and content.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/no-kanyes-twitter-account-hasnt-been-reactivatedbecause-it-was-never-taken-down

- issue here is that West’s account was merely restricted for posting the antisemitic tweet earlier this month.

According to Twitter’s policy, until West deleted the violating tweet he can only access his account in read-only mode and cannot publicly share any posts. At the same time, however, the account will remain visible, as will all of the tweets that did not violate the platform’s policies.

According to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, West’s Twitter account had been publicly visible as of two days ago. Additionally, since West was locked out of his account on Oct. 8, @kanyewest has continually been up on Twitter and does not appear to have been taken down in any way.
