The Elon Musk regime at Twitter is no longer enforcing the platform's COVID-19 misinformation rules, a move that follows the CEO's declaration of "general amnesty" for suspended accounts. 

"Effective November 23, 2022, Twitter is no longer enforcing the COVID-19 misleading information policy," the company stated on its transparency page for coronavirus misinformation. Additionally, the COVID-19 policy is no longer listed on Twitter's, "How we address misinformation on Twitter" explainer, and the URL for the misinformation policy now redirects to Twitter's Help Center.  

The policy's end follows the mass-exodus of Twitter employees since Musk's $44 billion acquisition of the company, including members of the trust and safety team – which was responsible for content moderation. 

On the same day Twitter stopped enforcing its COVID-19 misinformation policy, Musk posted a poll asking his followers if Twitter should offer "general amnesty to suspended accounts" under certain conditions. After more than 3 million people responded, with 72.4% in the affirmative, the billionaire announced "Amnesty begins next week."
