Their previous open source attempt was meaningless and this will be meaningless too.

Is open sourcing the algorithm enough? Like doesn’t the actual data matter? What if they are influencing the conversation and some other way that we cannot easily detect? I personally do not believe that Twitter is operated in a neutral way. There’s just way too much application of extremist far right / supremacist content. And we also saw they changed the emoticon for Iran has a way to amplify the protests. How could they be trusted to be transparent?
