X owner Elon Musk confirmed he would ignore CNN‘s demands to block or remove live streams of the Presidential debate on Thursday.
The news comes after the news outlet began contacting social media companies, telling them to censor conservative news outlets and accounts during the debate.
Podcaster Tim Pool said CNN told him he would not be legally allowed to simulcast the debate and provide his own commentary.
According to The Post Millennial, they also received an email they received from CNN stating, “CNN’s debates are exclusive to CNN and may not be streamed or streamed with verbal or digital commentary on any platform or social media site by another party, other than the embeddable YouTube player via the CNN YouTube channel.”
The email also stated:
“Podcast Use: Similar to broadcast rules, news organizations may use audio clips (up to 3:00 minutes at a time) on their shows after the debate conclude and must credit the ‘CNN Presidential Debate’ verbally in introducing the clip.”
