Twitter CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday announced that he talked with ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt and other "civil society leaders" about how Twitter "will continue to combat hate and harassment" and will "not allow anyone who was de-platformed for violating Twitter rules back on" the site without "a clear process for doing so." "Talked to civil society leaders @JGreenblattADL, @YaelEisenstat, @rashadrobinson, @JGo4Justice, @normanlschen, @DerrickNAACP, @TheBushCenter Ken Hersch & @SindyBenavides about how Twitter will continue to combat hate & harassment & enforce its election integrity policies," Musk said.
"Twitter will not allow anyone who was de-platformed for violating Twitter rules back on platform until we have a clear process for doing so, which will take at least a few more weeks," he said in a follow-up tweet.
The ADL on Monday threatened Musk with "dire consequences" if he replatformed "dangerous individuals" like Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes, Steve Bannon, Andrew Tate, and David Duke. Musk's stated goal to restore free speech to Twitter has now been abandoned.
All it took to get Musk to cave was the ADL organizing a global advertiser boycott against him.
Greenblatt put out a statement on Wednesday through his global boycotting pressure operation "Stop Hate For Profit": Stop Hate For Profit Statement On Meeting With Elon MuskMusk has kept Trump-hating lunatic Yoel Roth as the site's chief censor. Roth wrote his dissertation on Grindr and gay hook up apps. Musk said on Monday that he recommends people follow Roth "for the most accurate understanding of what's happening with trust & safety at Twitter."
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 30, 2022 Roth boasted that he's banning people en masse for "hateful conduct" and working on Facebook-style algorithms to pre-censor content before it's seen (exactly as the ADL has been calling for).
