Twitter to stop recommending Russian state accounts

Twitter announces it will no longer recommend Russian government accounts to its users

In a statement, Twitter says it will not amplify state-run accounts “engaged in armed interstate conflict” to ensure the “free flow of information”.

“We believe that a free and open internet is vital and that people around the world should have the same access to information,” the statement reads.

This comes after Russian authorities restricted access to Twitter and banned Facebook and Instagram as a part of Putin’s crackdown on social media.

Twitter is also introducing labels on tweets with links to Russian state-affiliated media accounts and one identified Ukraine state media account.

“We believe that people have the right to know when a media account is affiliated with a state actor,” Twitter says.

The social media platform has also asked all government-affiliated media to remove posts that feature prisoners of war.

Twitter’s new policy comes just a month after Twitter removed tweets from the Russian Embassy in the UK about the Mariupol hospital bombing.

Tesla cut the U.S. prices of its Model Y, Model X and Model S vehicles by $2,000 each, days after the first-quarter deliveries of the world’s most valuable automaker missed market expectations.

Elon Musk’s electric-vehicle (EV) maker lowered the prices for its Model Y base variant to $42,990, while the long-range and performance variants are now priced at $47,990 and $51,490, respectively, according to its website.

The basic version of the Model S now costs $72,990 and its plaid variant $87,990. The Model X base variant now costs $77,990 and its plaid variant is priced at $92,900.
Tesla North America also said in a post on X said it would end its referral program benefits in all markets after April 30.

Referral program allows buyers to get extra incentives through referrals from existing customers, a strategy long used by traditional automakers to boost sales.

Musk has postponed a planned trip to India where he was to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and announce plans to enter the South Asian market, Reuters reported on Saturday.
On Monday Reuters reported, citing an internal memo, that the EV maker was laying off more than 10% of its global workforce.
Earlier this month Reuters reported the EV maker had canceled a long-promised inexpensive car, expected to cost $25,000, that investors had been counting on to drive mass-market growth.
The EV maker reported this month that its global vehicle deliveries in the first quarter fell for the first time in nearly four years, as price cuts failed to stir demand.

Tesla is to report first-quarter earnings on Tuesday.
