Musk might also be considering offering more people a “blue check” - the verification checkmark sported on notable Twitter accounts - like Musk's - to show they're who they say they are. But such “code-level transparency” gives users little insight into how Twitter is working for them without the data the algorithms are processing, said Nick Diakopoulos, a Northwestern University computer scientist. Musk has called for posting the underlying computer code powering Twitter's news feed for public inspection on the coder hangout GitHub. There has been no evidence that Twitter's platform is biased against conservatives studies have found the opposite when it comes to conservative media in particular. This is a supposed invisible feature for reducing the reach of badly behaving users without disabling their accounts. political conservatives about “shadow banning” on social media.
