Elon Musk said Twitter would be releasing files on its own ‘free speech suppression,’ in a tweet on Monday.
The billionaire is expected to disclose the full details of Twitter’s 2020 censorship of the New York Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop.
The announcement comes days after Musk said releasing information about Twitter’s response to the laptop story was ‘necessary’ if the social media company wanted to win back the public’s trust.
Twitter deliberately prevented users from sharing links to a front-page newspaper article about Hunter Biden’s private life and his controversial business ties to Ukraine in the run-up to the 2020 election between Biden’s father and Trump.
Prior to his $44 billion takeover of Twitter, Musk called the platform’s decision ‘obviously incredibly inappropriate.’
The new Twitter owner is also being monitored by the White House to see if the site itself could become a new conduit for misinformation.
