Elon Musk says Twitter’s For You web page will solely suggest verified accounts

Musk claims the transfer is “the one life like technique to deal with superior AI bot swarms taking on.” Verified customers are additionally going to change into the one accounts that may vote in polls for the “identical purpose,” Musk says.

It’s value taking this announcement with a giant grain of salt, as Musk’s tweets haven’t at all times changed into enforced coverage or options. Maybe the largest instance is his promise from February that the corporate was going to begin sharing advert income with Blue subscribers, one thing that’s nonetheless MIA nearly two months later. That very same month, he additionally promised to open-source the corporate’s algorithm by March fifth, which hasn’t occurred but — although now he says it’ll occur on March thirty first, with out acknowledging the earlier missed deadline.

Musk has made related guarantees previously. Earlier than he dropped the charade of supposedly asking the group earlier than making main modifications to the service, he mentioned that Twitter would solely enable Blue Subscribers to vote in coverage polls. It’s a little bit of a moot level now that he’s probably not doing these anymore, although.
