Twitter on Monday accepted Elon Musk's dialect to buy a social media veteran company, and we are still waiting to see two things: if the deal will catch and more importantly, what will look like a musc-handed Twitter after the smoke is cleared. Although no concrete plan of new features in the “new Twitter” has yet been physically physic, Musk has dropped some signs in the last few weeks, which is about the type of change for everyone's favorite social media hellhole.
So let's take a look at those signs closely. Here are four features that we can see in a musk-thunder Twitter.
Low content moderation
While there is not considerable app facility, low content moderation is still a sufficient change for users to experience Twitter. And this is a change, Kasturi has tweeted a lot. In fact, some of their tweets indicate the tilt towards comforting the moderation policies in favor of their interpretation of their tweets free speech.
From “free speech”, I directly mean which matches the law.
I am against the censorship which is beyond the law.
If people want a low -free speech, they will ask the government to pass the law for that influence.
Therefore, going beyond law is contrary to people's will.

If the current content of Musk Twitter decides to reduce the moderation policies, it can result in a lot of increase in policies that sought to reduce harassment, misinformation, and what to reduce. Twitter refers to “hateful conduct”.
If he establishes that the independent speech he believes is beyond the current policies of Twitter, he can create a new Twitter very well. But this can be a one in which users cannot feel free to give their opinion that they are stuck with uncontrolled harassment from other users.
Another obstacle he faces in applying this change if he chooses, and one that was brought by other Twitter users was that there is a policy that follows the laws of America when it comes to free speech, not necessarily Twitter would be in compliance with laws of other countries. And Twitter is a global social networking platform. So how will the moderation moderation work in countries that require some types of moderation?
The question of how to deal with mistreatment and harassment on Twitter will always be around. Twitter has at least tried to answer the question that is with its moderation policies. Musk will need to answer that question if that material reduces moderation.
An edit button
Before joining it, it is important to establish that Twitter is already working on an editing button and is “From last year.” To buy Twitter, musk and well before her dialect. He said, Musk has shown interest in convenience. Even he told his followers about it, earlier this month:
Do you want an editing button?
– Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 5, 2022
But this tweet is in the answers of the pole where you can achieve the feeling of the direction that can lead this editing button under the musk. Twitter user @erdayastronaut replied For an edit button with their terms to pole that contains a time limit and “a small link showing editing.” Whom Kasturi just replied,It seems appropriate. ,
So there may also be an editing button in a Twitter under the musk if it takes into account the results of the pole. And it is also possible that such an editing button will also have limitations and characteristics to preserve the reference of a tweet, rather than allow users to change the tweet whenever they want.
Encrypted DMS
Among all the characteristics in our list, the encrypted DMS (direct message) provides specific details for it is only a musk. And he did this in a tweet:
Twitter DM must end to eliminate encryption like signal, so no one can spy or hack your messages
– Elon Musk (@elonmusk) 28 April, 2022
As An answer from Jane Manchun WongTwitter actually worked on such a feature, “but left it.” Wong's reply was also associated with a 2018 tweet in which he shared screenshots of the then in-promotion end-to-end encrypted DMS feature.

The end-to-end encrypted DMS Bird app will have a boon for secrecy. This will provide a safe method of communication between Twitter users in which only the sender and their intended recipients can read the messages sent. This can be particularly helpful as it adds another layer of security to situations where you need to share sensitive information with a reliable recipient.
Since Twitter has worked first on it and supports the musk feature, it is possible that we can see it again as a real, fully felt feature.
Extensive authentication
If the most clearly requested feature of the encrypted DMS Musk was, the authentication is probably its largest. They have mentioned it as something, but it is not very clear about how it should be.
In a press release Announcing its acquisition of Twitter, he refers to it as “certifying all humans”. His desire to certify humans on Twitter was also mentioned in a tweet:
And certify all real humans
– Elon Musk (@elonmusk) 21 April, 2022
But beyond the fact that he clearly wants a way to certify accounts that are related to real humans, we do not know much. What we know is that Musk, along with another goal for Twitter, has mentioned the convenience of “certifying all humans”, which is “defeating spam bots.” Therefore, it is likely that he wants a certification facility that will help Twitter to reduce Twitter to reduce the amount of spam bots.
What does such a feature look like? As CNN NoteThe authentication facility of the musc can take many different routes: the use of the captcha, a broad blue-checked verification program in which users should use their real names, or it can be done by “connecting the accounts with credit cards”. But all these methods have a lot of shortcomings and have raised legitimate concerns about Musk's desire to “certify all humans”.
This kind of concern was raised by an example Wong In response to a tweet of Musk:
How can we ensure the people of risky areas, who have to be subject to the word pseudo to enjoy the freedom of expressing the truth, while they are real humans without blowing their cover?
– Angel of the Magistic ( @ maternal) 21 April, 2022
And Wong is right. There are situations in which users cannot use their real names because doing so will put them in real danger, whether the danger is a repressive government or domestic violence.
And this is something that should be responsible for the musk, namely: How do you ensure that everyone can safely access your platform if everyone is required to do so. A solution will require to be a solution that includes certification and use of pseudo -names.
