Twitter’s Open Source Code Reveals US Government Can ‘Intervene’ with Recommendation Algorithm

Conspiracy fact. We’re in hell. Can you imagine what is going on at Facebook, Google, Youtube, LinkedIn et al?

Twitter’s open source code reveals US government can ‘intervene’ with recommendation algorithm

By: Post Millenial, April 1, 2023:

On Friday, Twitter released the recommendation algorithm portion of its code by publishing it on GitHub, where developers post open source software data. Developer Steven Tey dug into the code and found that there is a mechanism through which the US government can “intervene” with the code.

“When needed, the government can intervene with the Twitter algorithm,” Tey wrote. “In fact, @TwitterEng (Twitter Engineering) even has a class for it – ‘GovernmentRequested.'”

Tey linked directly to the code on GitHub.

On March 17, Musk announced he was going to make the algorithm open source later in the month and said, “Our ‘algorithm’ is overly complex & not fully understood internally. People will discover many silly things , but we’ll patch issues as soon as they’re found!”

Our “algorithm” is overly complex & not fully understood internally. People will discover many silly things , but we’ll patch issues as soon as they’re found!

We’re developing a simplified approach to serve more compelling tweets, but it’s still a work in progress. That’ll also…

Tey also found that a Twitter user’s “following-to-follower ratio matters and that page rankings get reduced for users who have “a low number of followers but a high number of followings.”

The algorithm gives a boost to Twitter Blue subscribers. Twitter also categorizes four user groups, “power users,” “Democrat users,” “Republican users,” and “@elonmusk to “track and compare” the frequency of tweet impressions on other users.

3. Twitter identified 4 different user groups to track & compare how often their tweets are being impressed to users:

◆ Power users
◆ Democrat users
◆ Republican users
◆ @elonmusk

Tey identified factors that impact whether or not a user will make the “For You” recommendation and some factors that could have a negative impact on one’s “reputation score” such as getting blocked or muted.”

Facebook, Google, Youtube, LinkedIn and other sites not mentioned………. simple solution, Don’t get on them!!!!!!!Social media sites are the enemy!!!!! What was once good is know ABUSED!!! It is no longer Power to the People. It is the Enemy of the State!!!!!!!!!!!It doesn’t provides self-expression and don’t promote mutual understanding anymore. What it does is lie, mislead about the TRUTH and is a tool for political corruption and almost all evil and corrupted things! We are better off without it!!! There are other sites that are for TRUTH and can promote good things but soon the corrupt will infect those too!

Only thing we need is the BIBLE and that alone is our media to open our eyes, heart and too show us what and who is evil among so so much more!!

There are some who make the “they’re a private company and can do whatever they want” argument.

This evidence pretty much destroys that too.

The book 1984 by George Orwell was about Big Government.

In the first cold war, little did we know that in the future, government would bypass the constitution by outsourcing infringements to private corporations. Little did we know that China would also be using capitalism to further it’s marxist goals. Hence, we call it neo-marxism rather than marxism. NWO in their case stands for Neo-marxist World Order.

Everytime they discover infringement by Twitter, Congress should also subpoena Google/Youtube, and Facebook to verify under oath if they too are doing the same thing.

Subpoena, not just the executives, but the workers and programmers too, who carry out these orders; so the workers will be more likely to protest their involvement in something that could get them to have to testify in front of millions in Congress. This will encourage more whistle blowing as well.

The Twitter files have revealed beyona shadow of any doubt that it was run for and by Dee[State operatives. Talib in his description of the files stated that “because Twitter was and is overwhelmingly run and staffed by people of one political persuasion.” i.e. Democrats, or better understood as the organized Trotskyite organized crime family that masquerades as the Democratic Party. Now, we find that the code of Twitter is controlled by this same crime family. A reasonable assumption is the same is true at Google and Facebook/Meta. It also is a clue as to how these particular companies succeeded where their competitors were either acquired or failed,and why very mediocre persons such as Zuckerberg, Bezos, Dorsey nd a whole host of others succeeded to vast fortunes, and how those fortunes are tapped whenever the Deep State has need of extra funds. This easily explains the huge “donations”made by ZUckerberg t influence he 2020 election and the enormous amount of campaign funds extracted from Silicon Valley “big hitters.” If this scenario is correct then we can safely conclude that tax payer funds and resources were used to create these social media behemoths, and that in a just world they should be seized and the funds returned to the US Treasury.
