Elon Musk’s Twitter deal stirs free speech, disinformation debate

Billionaire Elon Musk’s likely acquisition of Twitter has stirred a debate in the United States around freedom of speech and the role of social media platforms in regulating the flow of information.
Musk had complained about Twitter’s moderation of posts that it deems hateful or classifies as disinformation prior to his push to take over the company, but it remains unclear how the potential change of ownership may affect the day-to-day user experience.
The Twitter board unanimously agreed to sell the platform to Musk for $44bn on Monday, but the deal still requires the approval of shareholders, the social media giant said in a statement.
