‘Not A Content Moderation Problem’
He said the move could result in lesser number of bots and trolls on the social media platform. Speaking to CNBC, the author Twitter could turn into a more civil and reliable platform. Musk’s bigger issue, Isaacson said, is not the content moderation but the business model. It is a question of how do you do a business model that actually works on Twitter, he added. Over the past few months, Musk has been vocal about the need to resolve Twitter’s content moderation issue, with focus on the Twitter bots. The author recalled that Musk previously talked about ways to have a subscribe revenue for Twitter.
