Famous businessman Elon Musk attempted to buy social media giant Twitter for 44 billion dollars. While the purchases are still in progress, Elon Musk has already signaled many changes in the platform.
The famous CEO likened Twitter to a town square, so he wanted the platform to be a more free and democratic space. However, some politicians from England wrote a letter to Elon Musk for an invitation, as this would cause problems for Twitter in the future. So, what did UK lawmakers say to Elon Musk? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
Politicians want to hear about the identity verification system!
In the letter written by British lawmakers to Elon Musk for Twitter, they wrote that there should be an identity verification system because they were worried that too much freedom would bring violation of rights. Lawmakers want to discuss what Elon Musk will do about it, along with the balance between freedom of speech and censorship on Twitter.
Elon Musk has previously mentioned that fees may be charged if tweets from verified and high-profile accounts are embedded. In addition, Twitter has signaled that innovations will come for those who pay in the Blue section.
Elon Musk is known for his additional emphasis on freedom, in addition to his business achievements. The famous businessman had previously declared himself a free speech absolutist.
Letter from MPs, they just want to discuss this issue with Elon Musk. In other words, the letter is only a small invitation, so there is no such thing as a business person’s obligation to attend. It is already very curious how Twitter will reach a place in terms of freedom after the business person buys it.
