Politicians want to hear about the identity verification system!
In the letter written by the British MPs to Elon Musk for Twitter, they wrote that there should be an identity verification system because they were worried that too much freedom would bring violation of rights. Lawmakers want to discuss what Elon Musk will do about it, along with the balance between freedom of speech and censorship on Twitter.
Elon Musk has previously mentioned that verified and high-profile accounts may be charged if their tweets are embedded. In addition, Twitter has signaled that innovations will come for those who pay in the Blue section.
In addition to his business achievements, Elon Musk is also known for giving importance to freedom. The famous businessman had previously declared himself a free speech absolutist.
