According to news in the morning of January 3, Beijing time, Facebook whistler Francis Hogan (Frances Haugen) said that if Elon Musk (Elon Musk) wants to turn Twitter into a public square, he should open source his algorithm.

Musk has previously discussed turning Twitter into a digital town square "for discussing things vital to the future of mankind".

Hogan discussed the issue in an interview with the media last Monday. "one of the most important things for Elon Musk to prove that he wants to build a public square is to release the algorithm," she said. "

"Open source algorithm." She added, "he will get more help-lower costs and higher profits."

Musk has previously claimed that an important reason for buying Twitter is to "hand over power to the people." He also said in a memo after completing the $44 billion deal that he bought Twitter to facilitate a lost dialogue.

Musk also wants Twitter to be "the most accurate source of information in the world". But a few weeks after the acquisition, he reduced the size of his content review team.

Hogan, a former product manager for Facebook's Citizen Integrity team, publicly disclosed a large number of Facebook's internal documents in 2021, revealing to the outside world many of the company's decisions that she told Congress had led to "more divisions, injuries, lies, threats and struggles."

Hogan also said in an interview that us social media companies are generally opposed to government intervention because it would reduce profits by at least 20%.

"Facebook is scared." "if we really had transparency and accountability, their profit margin would not be 35%, but would fall to 15%," she said. "

Later, more problems were revealed by the media, including that Instagram exacerbated teenagers' body concerns. Facebook believes that children are an untapped market, and the company also has a secret system that allows 5.8 million users (including politicians and stars) to bypass its content rules.

Hogan has previously said that unless Mark Mark Zuckerberg steps down as CEO, Facebook will not recover.

Neither Meta nor Twitter, the parent of Facebook, could be reached for comment.
