Twitter owner Elon Musk has indicated that the social media platform could split into different verticals if users give their content ratings, similar to how movie ratings work.

Shortly after the billionaire acquired the tech company, people were quick to raise concerns about a potential rise in harmful content under his ownership. In a bid to combat that, Musk announced the formation of the content moderation council. While he hasn’t made any indications of exactly what role they will play in Twitter’s future, he did say that its role would be to field ‘diverse viewpoints’ and that no content moderation policies or account reinstatements would happen without the say so of the moderation council.

Musk also agreed with another user to split his service into different video-game style modes, including one where verified Twitter accounts could go head to head in a “player versus player” mode.

On Friday, a Twitter user replied to Musk’s moderation council tweet pointing out that Facebook’s Oversight Board had been founded with the same concept but neither the left nor the right were happy with the organisation. Musk agreed, saying that it would be a good idea for users give their content ratings and allow users to select what kind of Twitter they see. Here is his full reply:

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

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