In other social media news, Twitter has disbanded its Trust and Safety
Council, an external group made up of civil rights organizations,
academics and others that advised Twitter on matters related to user
safety, including mental health, human rights, suicide prevention and
child sexual exploitation. Separately, Twitter suspended the account of

private jet. Musk previously vowed not to block the account.
