It's just referencing the fact that the new Twitter is more open and transparent. I can't believe how many people are spinning this as a bad thing.

We heard almost nothing from Parag and little from Jack when he was running it and experiments were opaque from the outside.

Now we're hearing from the CEO and employees like George Hotz about what they are doing and planning, and they're involving the community, asking for feedback directly.

> previous Twitter wasn't as transparent as it is now

Reinstating accounts on the basis of a poll, on a platform you have spent months railing for having too many bots, is a good example of CYA transparency.

Elon specifically mentioned that his polls were actually a great way to obviate bots, as reflected by the bot activity seen on them. He was going to reinstate the accounts anyway.

That sounds like excuse after the fact someone called him on his bullshit

And are all the bots expected to vote one way?

That's your response? That polling is transparent because both sides will just turn it into a game of CoreWars, and may the best argument win (at CoreWars)?
