I dunno, with all of the recent leaks, Twitters internal workings have all been made public. Sounds pretty transparent to me!

Does it? It doesn't to me. It feels like they've deliberately hand picked things that would rile up the base - dropping that the Trump admin requested content removed, but not showing that, then including an image of links the Biden campaign wanted removing, leaving out the fact that every single one of those links was non consentual intimage imagery of a private citizen is the antithesis of transparency to me.

  Those are Twitter's official comms, not the leaks.

    No, those were the twitter files tweets.

      How is that not official comms? It's literally sanctioned and arranged by the C-suite. Regardless, this isn't what I was referring to by leaks upthread.

  The claim is that they are releasing through journalists for now to stir up interest. I think it's a ploy to get people to jump on Twitter for their news. Elon said he will likely release all of the documents in time. I'm not sure if that's safe for legal reasons. Who knows what private details would have to be redacted.

    I have zero faith that what is released will not be deliberately slanted. Elon has made his leanings crystal clear, as well as the base he now wants to play to.

    The reason it was released through journalists rather than as raw data is because they needed to attach a framing narrative to the data. They had to do this because the data alone without the narrative attached have proven to be pretty banal.

Yeah, but they have to be open about present workings not just past workings. I'll give them time. If they can be clear and transparent about even this I'll be happy. Yeah Elon might be a dictator throwing his weight around (I probably would too) but if there is due process and transparency so be it. This doesn't appear to be the case. They state in the rules that publicly available information can be shared. I'm sure we will find out one way or another what direction Twitter heads. It seems odd to me that you would create an account tracking anyone's plane. That doesn't seem to benefit anyone but people have weird hobbies.
