UN urges Elon Musk to safeguard human rights after Twitter takeover

The United Nations is urging Elon Musk to ensure human rights are central to Twitter's management. The investor set off a flurry of changes at the platform after buying it last week.
In an open letter to Musk, UN human rights chief Volker Türk says "Like all companies, Twitter needs to understand the harms associated with its platform and take steps to address them. Respect for our shared human rights should set the guardrails for the platform's use and evolution."
Musk has ordered the firing of half of Twitter's staff. Experts are warning the layoffs could cause a spike in disinformation across social media.
