Amid mass Twitter layoffs, UN urges Elon Musk to 'ensure human rights are central' to company's management

United Nations human rights chief Volker Türk urged Elon Musk, Twitter's new owner and CEO, to "ensure human rights are central to the management of Twitter."


The letter comes a day after the billionaire sacked half of Twitter's workforce following an announcement that the social media platform was losing more than $4 million per day.

In the open letter published on Saturday, Türk wrote, "Respect for our shared human rights should set the guardrails for the platform's use and evolution."

The U.N. Human Rights Chief urged Twitter's "Chief Twit" to stand up for the right to privacy, and stressed that Twitter has a responsibility to avoid amplifying content that results in harming other people's rights.

Türk encouraged Musk to foster user's "rights to privacy and free expression."

She conversely included that "free speech is not a free pass," using the example of the spread of "harmful" disinformation from the COVID-19 pandemic "in relation to vaccines."

I do not think the UN got the memo as yet. Communism did not yet take over the world and the world and all private companies does not yet belong to the UN. They should but out of private companies until the world gets new leaders that will disband this useless organization.

People don’t understand, there is ALWAYS a change in management, staff and so forth in a buyout. The difference is this was a buyout of a company whose sole purpose is to give people a platform to voice their thoughts and opinions. So yes, it would be more public, more in our faces and the feelings of people would come though.

****em we only show sympathy for the plight of those that do the same for us.

Let them apply their woke agenda and fully accept when they themselves have been canceled.

Hurts doesn't it?

Musk's buyout of Twitter has scared the living daylights out of the 'Democratic'/Socialist/Communist movement. This was an important vehicle in achieving their goals. Their domination plans are now hanging in the balance. I see a lot of people not sleeping well these days.
