New Twitter chief Elon Musk said the platform would offer a "general apology" to some suspended accounts starting next week.
Musk conducted a poll on Twitter asking users of the microblogging website to vote on whether the microblogging site should offer a general amnesty to other suspended accounts, provided they have not broken the law or engaged in serious spam. Do not join
According to the results of the poll, more than 3 million people voted in the poll and voted in favor of clemency with a majority of 72.4%.
"Should Twitter offer a general amnesty to suspended accounts, provided they haven't broken the law or engaged in serious spam?" Musk tweeted.

Last week, the world's richest man reinstated some previously suspended accounts, including those of former US President Donald Trump, satirical website Babylon Bee and comedian Kathy Griffin.
It should be noted that after taking control of Twitter, Musk said he would not reinstate any banned accounts until the company established and met a content moderation council with a "broadly diverse viewpoint". Didn't do it.
However, the billionaire backtracked from his remarks after conducting a Twitter poll on Trump's reinstatement.
The CEOs of Tesla and SpaceX tweeted in October that Twitter would create a content moderation council "with widely diverse viewpoints". Musk said there would be no major material decisions or account restorations before the council convened.
Change and chaos have marked the billionaire's first few weeks as Twitter owner. They've fired thousands of employees on Twitter itself, some directly.
Hostile layoffs across the social media platform led to mass resignations, with trends like #RIPTwitter, and #GoodbyeTwitter hitting Twitter last week.
This week, Musk also took a dig at trolls predicting the end of Twitter, shortly after its controversial acquisition, tweeting, "Shouldn't Twitter be dead by now...?"
Earlier Thursday, Musk tweeted that Twitter users could see small, sometimes large, improvements in the platform's speed that would be significant in countries far from the United States.
