Elon Musk banned Kanye West’s account again on Friday. The famous rapper’s account has been suspended for violating Twitter’s rules prohibiting incitement to violence.Musk, who describes himself as an absolutist of free speech, welcomed the arrival of the rapper, now known as Ye, to the platform in October.
Why was Kanye West’s account banned?
West’s account, which has more than 32 million followers on Twitter, was thought to have been banned because of the disparaging photo he sent to Elon Musk. However, Musk later said that the situation had nothing to do with a photo and said to one of his followers, who rioted after Kanye West’s account was banned, “I did my best, but he again violated our prohibition of incitement to violence. The account will be suspended.” said.
Twitter published a blog post earlier this week stating that healthy conversation will continue under Twitter 2.0 and that the platform has not changed any of its policies. However, with the addition of the blue tick purchase to the Twitter Blue subscription, the policies regarding account verification have changed. Musk also said that a general amnesty could come to suspended accounts. Musk also frequently voices his freedom of speech, but does not forgive some shares, as in the example of Kanye West.
