After Twitter’s source codes were leaked on Github in the past days, the new owner of the platform, Musk, has released the Twitter algorithm as open source. After this move by Musk, many people started to make various analyzes in Twitter’s source codes.
Product manager Aakash Gupta, who previously worked at giant technology companies such as Epic Games and Google, explained that in his analysis of Twitter source codes, the platform encountered a code that caused the tweets about the Ukraine war to remain in the background.
Twitter considers its war in Ukraine misinformation
Aakash Gupta, who previously worked at technology companies such as Google and Epic Games, analyzed Twitter’s source codes one by one. Gupta, who shared the data he obtained on his social media account, responded to the details he noticed in a flood.
Sharing information that will be very useful for those who want to expand their account on social media, Gupta revealed that tweets about the war between Russia and Ukraine, which have been going on for a year, were included in the category of misinformation.
It is not known when the data on Ukraine was added to the codes, but we also know that Twitter’s controversial owner, Elon Musk, previously feared that the war in Ukraine would turn into a “Third World War” scenario.
