CBS news network announces it's back on Twitter only a few days after it announced pausing activity for "security reasons".

The CBS news network announced earlier last week "pausing its activity" on Twitter, only to go back on that decision later.

CBS News correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti had announced the decision during CBS Evening News last Friday. "In light of the uncertainty around Twitter and out of an abundance of caution, CBS News is pausing its activity on the social media site as it continues to monitor the platform."

A spokesperson for the broadcaster told Axios that "We [CBS] are hopeful that we will resume activity very soon."

However, the news station announced on Sunday, in a tweet, that it will resume its activity on the platform.

"After pausing for much of the weekend to assess the security concerns, CBS News and Stations is resuming its activity on Twitter as we continue to monitor the situation."

Since Elon Musk acquired Twitter, several international brands and companies have been cautious about engaging with the platform or have put it to a temporary halt.

The parties include The North Face, Pfizer and General Mills among others.

The Tesla founder and CEO wants to develop the business model of the platform and aims to increase ad revenue, which most of the app's income comes from, which is why it is vital for companies to trust the platform and its policies.

According to NBC News, business moguls and entrepreneurs are painted as heroes of America - symbols of freedom, however, Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter however has proved otherwise.

Immediately upon taking office, Musk fired Twitter's top executives, including CEO Parag Agrawal, and he also laid off the company's board of directors, rendering himself the sole board member.

Musk agreed to buy Twitter for $44 billion 'to help humanity' on October 28 after months of negotiations and legal battles with the company.
