On Friday, Twitter released the recommendation algorithm portion of its code by publishing it on GitHub, where developers post open source software data. Developer Steven Tey dug into the code and found that there is a mechanism through which the US government can "intervene" with the code.
"When needed, the government can intervene with the Twitter algorithm," Tey wrote. "In fact, @TwitterEng (Twitter Engineering) even has a class for it – 'GovernmentRequested.'"
Tey linked directly to the code on GitHub.
On March 17, Musk announced he was going to make the algorithm open source later in the month and said, "Our 'algorithm' is overly complex & not fully understood internally. People will discover many silly things , but we’ll patch issues as soon as they’re found!"

Probably why it is being open sourced. Trying to negotiate with the various TLAs to get these things out would be a waste of time and energy.
Surprise! The deep state full of democrats is the enemy.
Surprise! If this fascist government wanted you gone from Twitter, then, like
hundreds of thousands of us, you are STILL gone from Twitter, with any appeals
going unanswered.
(They really didn’t like that #PedoDementoCorruptoCrat hashtag...)
Just found. BOOKMARKED!
