Twitter Policies Expected to be Changed Soon after Elon Musk’s Takeover!
Now you can expect not to get banned from Twitter for posting less violent posts within the bounds of the law. It is believed that Twitter’s policies regarding banning people who violate the Platform’s policies will change so that they can speak freely. Donald Trump, the former U.S. president was banned from Twitter in January 2021 after the attack by his supporters on the U.S. Capitol.
According to the sources and statement of the incoming owner of Twitter, Elon Musk is likely to revoke the ban from Trump’s Account. However, on 25th April 2022, in a press release, Donald Trump clearly said that he would not return to Twitter even if his ban is reversed. He confessed that he was disappointed with the way Twitter behaved and banned him just due to the risk of further incitement of violence during the riot.

He also suggested that Twitter could make the algorithm other to the public because open-source software is freely available and can be altered.
