Musk's announcement that he is about to make changes to the X algorithm to prioritize the promotion of content that is considered informative or educational has met with widespread opposition. Mr. Musk said the planned changes were in response to "too much negative news" on X. "Our goal is to maximize the amount of time users don't regret," he wrote in a post from social media on January 3. "Too much negative news being pushed technically increases the amount of time users spend, but not the amount of time they don't regret." In response, users on X described the algorithm changes as a form of censorship and questioned Mr. Musk about who has the authority to determine "negative content" on the platform.
