is a lot of the harassment and the -- all the abuse that happens on the platform going to go? he's made it clear he wants to kind of remove some of the -- some of the guard rails of moderation and that could make it far worse. reporter: some worry if, for example, president trump who's been banned from twitter, could be allowed to return. >> a lot of people who have gotten these lifetime bans, there's a lot of real impact that could happen by saying to these people, welcome back. come on in. have fun. reporter: on this friday musk tweeted, twitter will be form a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints. he goes on to say, no major content decision or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes. the real question will be who will be on this council and what will their interest be? will they be policy experts or reactionaries? in san francisco, abc7 news. dan: general motors has become one of the first companies to suspend advertising on twitter. the auto company says it will

evaluate upcoming changes as twitter takes a new direction under elon musk. the g.m. says, however, it will keep interacting with customers on the platform. flu season has arrived six weeks early. hospitals are seeing more people admitted for the flu than they've seen in over a decade. this year, there have been nearly 7,000 hospitalizations and 360 deaths including one child. cases are high in the southeast. and cases are now rising along the atlantic coast as well. health officials are advising people ages six months and up to get the flu shot just as soon as possible to prevent severe infection and hospitalization. crab will likely not appear on thanksgiving tables this year. after state officials delayed the start of the commercial crab fishing season, for four region, this decision comes after hundreds of whales were found looking for food along the coast and there's concern of course that they could get tangled in nets. the season was supposed to begin on november 15. officials will reassess things
