.ElonMusk vows to disclose censorship practices and make Twitter code open to public
Musk is vowing to enact those changes"no later than next month." It appears to be an effort to cultivate public trust and make good on his prior commitments to the company to make its algorithms open source, meaning available for the public to inspect."Twitter will publish tweet recommendation code & make account/tweet status visible no later than next month. Transparency builds trust," he tweeted.
"Twitter is working on a software update that will show your true account status, so you know clearly if you’ve been shadowbanned, the reason why and how to appeal," Musk explained in December. "That is why we must clear out bots, spam & scams. Is something actually public opinion or just someone operating 100k fake accounts? Right now, you can’t tell. And algorithms must be open source, with any human intervention clearly identified. Then, trust will be deserved," he tweeted at the time.
Musk also gave multiple reporters access to Twitter so they could release the so-called Twitter Files, which detail the company's past practices on content moderation.
