      In another bid to promote transparency, Twitter CEO Elon Musk also announced on Tuesday that Twitter had enabled the "freedom of reach" label as it seeks to restrict the visibility of tweets that violate its rules. "We’re rapidly improving transparency & fairness on this platform, but there is still a lot of work to do," he said.
