Twitter Inc. adopted a measure that would prevent its hostile takeover by billionaire Elon Musk. Twitter board has unanimously decided to take Poison Pill. However, Twitter’s policy doesn’t allow the word poison pill in tweets as it falls under self harm category.Â
Minutes after Twitter decided to use Poison Pill strategy, many media houses and journalists tweeted the news but a majority of those got suspended. “Twitter is very strict with its policy guidelines you can’t use word poison pill so loosely and casually it will have repercussions” told a Twitter content moderator to The Fauxy.
Twitter board condemned Elon Musk attempt to make the twitter a platform of free speech when it’s already a platform for free speech. “What does Elon Musk want to prove? That twitter doesn’t have a free speech? Did we ever charge anyone to listen to anyone’s speech, it’s all free we don’t even show ads like Youtube” said a Twitter board of directors.
