Musk takes power on Twitter: 6 unanswered questions about the future of the media

After weeks of back and forth discussions, Elon Musk buys Twitter for $44 billion. Musk is trying to fix Twitter's failures in his own way -- restoring global freedom of speech -- to realize the social platform's vision.

For Elon Musk's acquisition, there are two-faced voices, such as trust in Musk and the destruction of the industry caused by the uncertainty of Musk's privatization of Twitter.

The media is a place for free expression of will and true information. However, today's media is controlled by a few people and becomes a place where resources are contested. For example, the constant occurrence of black swan events, partisan struggles, extreme reports and even 404 of various voices in recent years.

The media is controlled by a few people, which is closely related to the source of funds and the direction of power. How to use the latest organizational forms and technologies to reconstruct the media to restore its original characteristics, DAOrayaki has done a lot of exploration and verified some functions. For details, please refer to the end of DAOrayaki's article or previous articles, we will not discuss too much here.

Musk takes control of Twitter, where will Twitter go, 5 unanswered questions worth thinking about:

1. Will content moderation take a softer or more permissive stance?

Musk's biggest complaint about Twitter comes from how it moderates content. The current review mechanism, in Musk's view, is tantamount to stifling his freedom of speech.

Musk has previously stated publicly that he is opposed to outright banning users who violate the rules, and instead suggested a "suspend". Musk has said only illegal content will be banned, but has yet to say whether racism, harassment and some other objectionable themes will be banned.

2. Will Twitter add an “editing” button?

In early April, Musk ran a poll on his Twitter: "Do you think the platform should add an edit button and allow users to fix spelling mistakes in posts and make them make adjustments", the answer is yes, with 73.6% of respondents saying they would like this feature.

Twitter has paid subscribers for its subscriptions and has experienced editing functions on a small scale, and Musk wants to make editing more popular.

3. Will Twitter open source its algorithm?

In a TED interview on 4.12, Musk believes that Twitter should open source its algorithm. An open-source algorithm will expose the code that Twitter uses to determine which tweets to promote and the code implicit in users' tweets. Open-sourcing Twitter will also make the role of computer programs in moderation and regulation of content on the platform more visible.

For many, especially conservatives, the bias of Twitter's algorithm is suspected. In theory, open-sourcing the code would make the service more transparent — or, as Musk puts it, showing there's no "manipulation behind the scenes."

4. Will Twitter scams decrease?

Musk's other biggest gripe with Twitter comes from the plethora of bots posing as real people on its platform.

Musk's most recent tweet: "If our twitter bid succeeds, we will defeat the spam bots or die trying!"

Musk has promised to crack down on bots, make it easier for human users to get authenticated, and even eliminate a lot of crypto scams on the service. But how to solve this problem, Musk has not released relevant information.
5. Will Twitter pay more attention to subscription revenue?

Musk has said that he did not buy Twitter for money, and that he will adjust the company's revenue model, pay less attention to advertising, and may place more emphasis on subscriptions.

Musk suggested in a deleted tweet earlier this month that ads should be removed for Twitter's premium Blue users. Doing so would have a major impact on the company's revenue model, as Twitter has historically made 90% of its profits from advertising.

6. Are banned users allowed to return?

Twitter has the power to unilaterally ban any user it deems to be a serious violation of its rules, including former President Trump following the January 6 riots in the Capitol last year.

Whether Trump -- or other banned users -- will be allowed back to Twitter is unclear, but it's definitely a possibility, some Republicans and Trump's family The idea of the former president rejoining the platform has begun to be celebrated.

If Trump's account is reactivated, it could also pave the way for other banned users to return, such as U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was released after violating Twitter's COVID-19 misinformation policy Banned in January.

Detailed explanation of the Web3 credential data network Project Galaxy operating mechanism and token model

Graduation certificates can prove the colleges we have attended, award certificates can prove our honors, professional skills certificates can prove our ability to work, these labels are connected in series enough to describe our life trajectory. Not only that, in the game we have the proof of rank, we have the proof of experience in the work, even when we swipe the video, we will be pushed by big data to meet our interests and preferences, and our mark proof is hidden behind it. The trajectories of the lives of thousands of people constitute a string of data credentials that belong to us. However, these credentials are isolated in a relatively closed database. Our educational credentials reside in official institutions, credit records reside in financial institutions, and habits in an app are only reflected where relevant. In addition to these scenarios that exist in our daily life, we also need such credentials on the chain. When a user makes a ...

Frequent security problems How can program analysis catch security leaks in advance?

图片
Rice's theorem tells us that every non-trivial property of a program is undecidable, so how does static analysis bypass this question to answer "Is this program a security hole"? If you are interested in blockchain technology, you may have heard of many incidents of large amounts of funds being stolen by attackers exploiting vulnerabilities in program code. For example, in the infamous DAO attack in 2016, attackers used a vulnerability called "reentrancy" to over-withdraw funds they could have withdrawn. Another more recent incident was the flash loan attack, which took place on April 17, 2022, resulting in a loss of $182 million in funds. While all attacks stem from security vulnerabilities in the underlying source code, the good news is that program analysis techniques are now available that can detect such vulnerabilities. In the next few blog posts, we'll explain what program analysis is and how it can help catch securi...
