That would mean people banned from the site for violating Twitter's rules for harassment, violence, or election and COVID-related misinformation will not be able to return before next Tuesday's US midterm elections. The pledge came after Musk, who took control of the social-media site last week after buying it for USD 44 billion, said in a tweet that he had met with a handful of civil-society leaders about how Twitter will continue to combat hate and harassment and enforce its election integrity policies."
