Episode Details

X is unveiling major transparency by opening up core source code—including the secret algorithm behind its “For You” feed—on GitHub, letting developers and users peer into how content gets ranked. A new “Under the Hood” tool lets individuals see how their posts were affected by X’s ranking systems, empowering audits and critiques. While the move signals a push for trust and accountability amid years of scrutiny, some AI moderation systems remain locked away to prevent abuse. It’s a bold step toward openness—but still operates under X’s private company veil, with no public reporting on key metrics like revenue or growth.
