You want Transparency, You'll get Transparency > Elon Musk

Elon Musk just gave a cheeky middle finger to the EU. The EU fined X €120 million for a lack of transparency on its algorithm. X is now publishing its algorithm on GitHub, with an update every 4 weeks. But that's not all: X will also make public ALL censorship requests from governments, including those from the EU (which clearly seems to be abusing them). European regulatory pressure may have produced more transparency than expected... Just not exactly in the way Brussels imagined it. 

Elon Musk says all government censorship requests are now publicly visible in the open-source X algorithm.

highlights Elon Musk's announcement making all government censorship requests publicly visible in X's open-source algorithm on GitHub, updated every four weeks, as a direct response to the EU's €120 million fine for insufficient algorithmic transparency.

It portrays the action as an ironic outcome of European regulatory pressure, increasing overall platform openness while exposing specific government takedown demands, including those from the EU.

The thread contrasts this with pre-Musk Twitter's secret collaborations with agencies like the FBI and DHS on shadowbans and content suppression, as detailed in the 2022 Twitter Files.
