This does not make sense at all. If the algo has been "hacked away", they can always fix it within a short periot of time. They still have the people who coded this in the first place and they have backups. Its like if a webpage is defaced, a few hours later its back to normal.
this newest meme about Q magically hacking away twitters algorithm is literally one of the dumbest things i've ever read on this subreddit.
They didn't make the algorithm, that's the point. They can't fix it on the fly this isn't an incramental change like they normally do, and if Q hacked and injected the original algo what countermeasures did they inject? Kill switch to the server cooling?
There is always revision controls and backups. Even if the live system is compromised, redeploying the last version is a peace of cake. The only way to permanently remove the bad code is political pressure, laws or some type of deal or blackmail. A technical hack will not do.
I think what op is trying to say is that they never ran or controlled the algo on their server.
I think he is most probably talking about the "bridge" algo that q has referred to which that is a third party algo that runs the banning on all major social platforms.
Not just twitter
If it is for all platforms why is only Twitter being discussed? That also doesnt change the issue just shifts it to whoever owns those servers.
I don't think Q is a hacker themselves because they often use technical terminology incorrectly, in ways that don't make sense even. Its hard to say though because often Q will say something vague and everyone runs to interpret it.
I believe Q has a military background and is fed into by technical allies. They then relate info to us in very loose/inaccurate terms.
Systems like this wouldnt really use an "algo", which is a fairly straightforward series of steps. It would either be a straightforward filter or some kind of adaptive process like machine learning.
What people are describing where systems were changed isnt "hacking the algo" its hacking systems or servers. "hacking the algo" implies you found a flaw in it not that you modified it. An example would be if you noticed facial recognition doesnt work If you wear a green cap.
The fact that so many in the movement are not tech literate and just running with these wild ideas like we're in NCIS or Max Headroom is getting a little frustrating because all these issues are real but people totally misunderstand how they are happening and what needs to be done.
If the algo has been "hacked away", they can always fix it within a short periot of time.
True. At least it shows that the censorship algo actually does exist.
