Hate cleric Anjem Choudary reckons his Twitter ban could be lifted after Elon Musk bought platform
WARPED Anjem Choudary believes his Twitter ban could be lifted after Elon Musk bought the platform.
The hate cleric, 55, boasted he may adopt the handle “convicted terrorist” if allowed back on the platform.
Last night, at least two new accounts claiming to be Choudary were active on Twitter.
Islamic fanatic Choudary’s hopes of a return were raised after Musk, 51, vowed to make the 400-million user site a beacon of free speech after paying £38billion for it.
He said a “content moderation council” would decide if banned accounts could operate again.
Choudary, jailed for 5½ years in 2016 for inviting support for IS, was “permanently suspended” in 2021 for violating its rules.

The London-based former lawyer, who is barred from many other sites, said: “I look forward to being able to use Twitter to once again call for the truth and superiority of Islam over the oppression of man-made laws.”
The Henry Jackson Society, a national security think tank, said social media firms would be “morally culpable” for any violence Choudary inspires if he were allowed to return to Twitter.
