We’re noticing that it’s almost exclusively liberals (Democrat politicians, journalists, and celebrities) who are being the most vocal about Elon Musk buying Twitter and taking it private. They obviously know that the odds have been stacked in their favor, or else they wouldn’t be complaining. Eric Weinstein has one request for Musk, and it’s a good one: use Twitter’s logs to show how our communications have been manipulated.
I’m excited to see what happens next. Here’s to the future!
But one request for @elonmusk: can you use Twitter Logs to show us how our communications were manipulated? Who was shaddowbanned or targeted by bots? How algorithms limited our reach? Why we were throttled? Etc. 🙏 https://t.co/XWBN42JIHG

As excited as I am for a different future, I want to know how Twitter was *previously* used behind the scenes to get us into this mess.

We want to know how high up the decision was made to ban links to the New York Post’s scoop on Hunter Biden’s laptop because it was “disinformation.”
Dear @elonmusk — can you do a deep dive and let the public know who (left, right, center) has been openly or shadow banned by @Twitter all this time? 🙏🏻

Indeed, one of @ElonMusk’s first memos should announce a strong data retention policy.

Also any correspondence between the Obama and Biden White Houses and Twitter management.

Wishful thinking. It is highly likely much of that “paper-trail” has been altered or destroyed.
No one wants to risk the inter-workings being released.

This request will open a can of worms which go really really deep 😱

Damn fine request if you ask me!

Yes, I can’t wait to see what Twitter has been doing behind the scenes. That is if they don’t cover it up before an audit can be done.

I'll go on record to say that logs will mysteriously be deleted soon.

Open-sourcing the algorithms will achieve all of this and more … have faith in the process.

Musk has said he’d make the algorithms that moderate content open-source. No more mystery.
Did you watch his TED interview? He explicitly stated it was a top priority for there to be transparency in what actions were being taken against users

I’m sure they are currently busy cleaning that up.

I'd love to see this. The cynic in me says execs and higher ups are taking hammers to company phones and using BleachBit as we speak.

Twitter employees are going full scrub mode right now to avoid discrimination lawsuits.

That’s a big ask. How about we get you on Elon’s new board? That would be a good stepping stone.

Over the weekend we’d written that links to both The Reload and Charles C. W. Cooke’s personal website were throwing up alerts on Twitter. It’s still going on.
