Twitter users could in future choose a version of the social media platform they like by providing ratings on their tweets, Elon Musk, the new owner of the company, tweeted on Saturday.

“Being able to select which version of Twitter you want is probably better, much as it would be for a movie-maturity rating,” he said.

“The rating of the tweet could be self-selected, then modified by user feedback,” he added.

Musk tweeted on Friday that Twitter will form a content moderation council “with widely diverse viewpoints”. No big content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before the council convenes, he said.
