Does anyone actually believe Twitter’s algorithm is public? When the company’s mercurial owner wants to amplify some voices and silence others, does he make a pull request on the GitHub repo?
If you don’t think that kind of thing happens on Twitter/X, you haven’t been paying attention.
Anyway, Republicans generally favor less regulation and less enforcement, not more. If there’s a new rule that requires companies to publish something, but it’s not actually enforced, then it doesn’t mean anything. Companies can just publish something vaguely plausible out of some old code snapshot (like Twitter does today).
