Notably yesterday a birdwatcher added a note to one of Elon's tweets, and then later the explanation was removed. They do use opaque algorithms that take other birdwatchers' feedback and decide whether to keep a note. Of course, many immediately suspected Elon had it manually removed.
Regardless of whether he actually did it I think this is a fatal flaw that will prevent birdwatch from ever being trusted.

- BryantD 4y agoI am a member of the Birdwatch program. The note wasn't removed. It's still visible as a potential note; it just dropped below the threshold necessary for general display. This is not common but it's not abnormal either; it happened to one of my notes on a controversial topic.
