can’t find the BBC World Service radio piece I heard yesterday, saying Trump will probably be back and Musk will allegedly bring back “free speech” (BBC put it in quotation marks) which means disinformation will be back as well.
27 Oct: BBC: Elon Musk claims he’s buying Twitter to ‘help humanity’
“Entering Twitter HQ - let that sink in!” Mr Musk wrote.
In business parlance, “kitchen sinking” means taking radical action at a company, though it is not clear if this was Mr Musk’s message - he also updated his Twitter bio to read “chief twit”...
Reports he would dramatically reduce headcount have not gone down well with staff.
Talk of allowing Donald Trump and other banned accounts back onto the platform has also frustrated many employees...

Entities like the BBC should only have accounts there is the can PROVE assertions like Trump is pushing misinformation.
Media entities should have to pass some sort of test for truth.
