VITALIK BUTERIN PUSHES FOR REAL TRANSPARENCY AT X Elon Musk just announced that 𝕏 will open-source its recommendation algorithm within 7 days, with updates every 4 weeks. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is cautiously supportive -- but says open code isn’t enough: users need ways to verify what actually happens to their content and why they’re shown or suppressed. Buterin and others are even proposing cryptographic proofs and blockchain-based audit systems so algorithmic decisions can be checked without exposing private data. The debate boils down to this: ✅ Open-sourcing raw code is a start -- but not true transparency on its own ✅ Verifiable systems (e.g., proof of how content is ranked) are what build trust ✅ This matters for crypto communities, developers, and anyone who relies on 𝕏 for market info or discourse Transparency in tech platforms is becoming a crypto-centric governance issue, not just a Silicon Valley talking point.
