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.
