X algorithm adjustment! ! ! Elon Musk prioritizes educational content, encounters strong backlash from the industry
Elon Musk recently announced adjustments to the algorithm of X (formerly Twitter), planning to promote more "informative" or "educational" content and reduce negativity on the platform. This move immediately sparked widespread controversy. Supporters believe that reducing negative content can effectively improve user experience, but critics worry that this approach will limit diverse viewpoints and may even be used as a censorship tool.
Musk emphasized that the goal is to increase "unregrettable user usage time", but some netizens questioned whether this strategy would suppress freedom of speech, especially when dealing with sensitive topics. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin also joined the discussion, reminding Musk of the importance of freedom of speech.
In addition, Musk's disputes with governments of several countries have not stopped. The German government accused him of supporting far-right parties to interfere in elections, further intensifying the discussion about his free speech behavior on social media.
How will Musk's reforms affect the future of X? Will it move towards a more rational information platform or become a "whispering wall" with a single perspective? Stay tuned, Mr. Qiu will analyze it for you.
