Musk, who once called himself a “free speech absolutist,” also clarified that he won’t be freeing accounts from shadow bans. “New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.”

New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.

Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter.

You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.
