Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced on Friday that his company restored the account belonging to DailyWire+ host Jordan Peterson.
“New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach,” Musk said.
Peterson, who was banned from the social media platform earlier this year for a post about transgender actress Elliot Page, previously wrote that he would rather die than compromise on telling the truth about the Oscar nominee’s biological sex.
Musk recently told the public that he purchased the company in order to facilitate open dialogue between citizens with differing opinions. “The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence,” the multibillionaire wrote in a statement. “There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society.”
