I seem to remember that musk promised to make moderation decisions more transparent and even open source the algoritm, I wonder why they are against this.
The enduring trait of narcissism that I have encountered is their hatred and refusal to abide by contracts or to have their behavior constrained in any way that has teeth. They would never allow you to receive any resource or benefit unmitigated by constant threats or innuendo as to how long it might persist for you before its tragically "taken away" [by them, lawfully or otherwise]
They're basically little mob bosses. Its a completely unsustainable relationship wherever it exists.
Its honestly like watching an episode of AnimalPlanet when you can get the force of law applied against them compelling them to do whatever required to comply with judgements or their obligations. Its an alien experience for them
They're not necessarily against the premise of transparency in moderation.
They're against the government mandating it, which they argue is unconstitutional.
Personally, I agree. This is the first step towards totalitarian governments. Probably anyone who understood a bit of human history would be terrified about this Californian initiative.
"He had earlier put up a poll with a variety of options, asking whether or when he should reinstate the journalists’ accounts. When a plurality of respondents voted to restore the accounts immediately, he deleted the poll and started a new one with fewer options."
