Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian supports Elon Musk's new Twitter policy
Former World No. 1 Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian has lent his support to Elon Musk for the billionaire's latest policies formulated on Twitter.
Musk, the microblogging site's new CEO, has been making frequent comments about rebuilding the platform ever since taking over the reins on October 27. He took online users by surprise on Friday as he put forward the idea of a complete revamp of Twitter's algorithm.
Musk stated that Twitter would not encourage negative tweets or hate speech on its platform in any manner.
"New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter. You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet," he tweeted.

While online users were divided on Musk's proposal, with a section of them questioning the violation of users' freedom of speech, Alexis Ohanian expressed agreement with the 51-year-old's views.
"This is an important distinction I've been talking about for years and happy to see. Social media has 100% control over who they give reach and legitimacy to and should be judicious," Ohanian said.

In an interesting excerpt from the video, Ohanian was asked by American television host Jimmy Fallon whether he had played tennis with his wife.
"She's actually offered to give me lessons," Ohanian replied. "I turned them down because I wanted to be the only person in the world who would ever turn down Serena Williams for tennis lessons."
