"Elon Musk said he would reinstate suspended accounts on Twitter Inc.'s social-media platform, bringing back users that previously had been banned for posting hate speech, inciting violence or engaging in other behavior that violated its policies.
Mr. Musk said Thursday the amnesty would begin next week, provided the accounts haven't "broken the law or engaged in egregious spam." He made the decision after polling users on the platform. "Vox Populi, Vox Dei," he tweeted, a Latin phrase meaning the voice of the people is the voice of God.
Over the weekend, Mr. Musk said he reinstated former President Donald Trump's account, which Twitter had permanently banned after the January 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Mr. Trump has said he would remain on his own social-media platform.
Rapper Kanye West returned to Twitter over the weekend. The company, before its acquisition by Mr. Musk, had locked the account after Mr. West sent an anti-Semitic tweet.
However, Mr. Musk on Sunday tweeted that he wouldn't reinstate the account of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
Mr. Musk has described himself as a free-speech absolutist and has said Twitter generally should intervene only to comply with local laws." [1]
So how is it now, Juozai, that the voice of the people is the voice of God? And we thought that only the voice of the Landsbergiai was the voice of God... And yet it turns out that it is necessary to obey the law?
