[X Open-Sources 'Recommendation Algorithm' Code and Launches Transparency Tool, Allowing Users to View Account and Post Demotion Tags] Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on August 15, the X platform announced further enhancements to algorithm transparency by officially open-sourcing the code related to the ranking of posts in the 'For You' recommendation timeline. Additionally, it introduced a new transparency tool that allows users to check whether their accounts or posts have been tagged with labels that might limit visibility. X stated that this move aims to enable users to independently assess whether the platform is restricting the dissemination of their content, whether the recommendation system is fair, and why they are seeing specific content. The two features released are described by X as 'complementary pieces of the puzzle': the open-source code reveals the mechanism behind the generation of the 'For You' timeline, including content tags that influence post visibility and their effects; the transparency tool allows users to check if their accounts or posts have any visibility-limiting tags. It is reported that this feature is still in the pilot phase and is only available to a randomly selected group of eligible accounts. The initial test group includes users who have been registered for over a year and have posted more than 10 pieces of content in the past month. X plans to gradually expand the coverage based on user feedback. The company has already invited third-party recommendation system experts to review and test the released code in advance to ensure that the disclosed information is clearer and more practical. X stated that as the recommendation algorithm continues to evolve, it will regularly update the related transparency mechanisms in the future.
