Elon Musk has revealed intentions to modify the algorithm on his social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, in order to decrease negativity and encourage more uplifting content.
He claims this adjustment aims to enhance user engagement by maximizing “unregretted user-seconds.”
Critics argue that these changes could lead to censorship, particularly against criticism of the FBI, as the determination of what constitutes negativity will be made by Musk and his team.
This announcement follows Musk’s recent outburst in response to criticism regarding his support for H-1B visas, where he used aggressive language against detractors.
