QAnon loyalists, neo-Nazis and a former American president: The list of people banned from Twitter is long, but their exile could soon end if Elon Musk buys the platform.

That’s led to speculation that he will scrap Twitter’s content moderation system, created to address ills like hate speech, misinformation and harassment.
