Musk: Twitter's algorithms are manipulating users
Elon Musk said he was rigged platform for Twitter users through the time table
algorithm on the site, resulting in a response from the former founder and CEO
Jack Dorsey.
Musk: Twitter's algorithms are manipulating users
This represents the latest development in the acquisition of the
troubled holder of the company.
In a new tweet, Musk indicated the need to replace the platform's default timeline, which
displays tweets based on popularity and user interests.
The Mask: is manipulated by your algorithm in ways that can not be
detected. He asked his followers to fix the timeline to show the latest tweets
by clicking on the star in the top right of the screen.
Dorsey
responded by disagreeing
with Musk, saying the job was a way to keep followers informed of trending
news and could easily be changed.
Chirp Dorsey: designed to save time when away from the application for a
period of time. Drag to update your return to the chronology of the reverse
too.
Lord Dorsey then on a tweet from another user said that the function is
designed to manipulate, but can have consequences.
He said Dorsey: No, were not designed to manipulate. Designed to help
you view what you care about. It can therefore be unintended consequences.
Dorsey argued that the best current option for the ability to choose is.
Mask responded to himself after several hours, indicating that
manipulation was not deliberate by Twitter. He said: I do not suggest the
existence of intentional harm in the algorithm, but it is trying to guess what
you might want to read it. As a result, they manipulate or inflate your views
without being aware that this is happening.
He added, not to mention possible errors in the code. Open source is the
way to go to resolve both trust and efficacy.
Twitter algorithm was a major discussion point holder, who wants to be
open source to increase confidence in the platform, where he said that the
acquisition of suspension pending the assertion that only 5% of the site
accounts belong to the category of bots accounts mechanism.

Mask doubted that the figure is higher, it takes a sample of 100
followers of a random Twitter account. When a user asked him to clarify the
process of filtering bots accounts, he replied: I chose 100 as the number for
the size of the sample, because this figure is what you use Twitter account
for 5% of the fake accounts, spam and duplicate.
Mask said he had not yet seen any analysis shows that social networking
company has fake accounts for less than 5%, and there is a possibility that
the number of counterfeit accounts for more than 90% of active users per day.
Chief Executive Officer explained to Tesla electric car industry that
the company's legal team accused him of violating Twitter non-disclosure
agreement by revealing that the sample size for tests of social networking
platform on robotics users was 100.
I’m not suggesting malice in the algorithm, but rather that it’s trying to guess what you might want to read and, in doing so, inadvertently manipulate/amplify your viewpoints without you realizing this is happening

it was designed simply to save you time when you are away from app for a while.
