 <p>Musk’s tweet, which succinctly declares, “Facebook is manipulating the public almost everywhere on Earth. That is why they won’t open source their algorithm,” has ignited a firestorm of discussion. This accusation comes on the heels of influencer and author Michael Shellenberger’s statement. Shellenberger shared a news report quoting <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Mark Zuckerberg" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/mark-zuckerberg.html">Mark Zuckerberg</a>’s assertion that Facebook remains open to all viewpoints, abstains from election interference, and relies on independent fact-checkers. Yet, recent investigations expose a different reality.</p>

 <p>An in-depth investigation by Sky News Australia has shed light on a concerning international initiative aimed at suppressing political discussions concerning ‘The Voice.’ The exposé has revealed a troubling connection between Facebook and activists who are actively pushing for the restriction of opposing viewpoints, particularly amid a pivotal national referendum. This revelation stands in stark contrast to the tech behemoth’s public assertions of upholding fairness and openness.</p> 
 <p>The Voice, a platform that delves into the global fact-checking mechanism employed by <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Meta" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/meta.html">Meta</a>, Facebook’s parent company, was found to be incompatible with its purported standards. Disturbingly, instances have emerged where <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Meta" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/meta.html">Meta</a> permitted institutions like the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology to silence Australian journalism, flouting the very rules established by <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Meta" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/meta.html">Meta</a>’s founder, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Mark Zuckerberg" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/mark-zuckerberg.html">Mark Zuckerberg</a>, to dissociate from fact-checking responsibilities.</p>

 <p>Contrary to Facebook’s opacity, Musk’s rival, Elon Musk, took to Twitter to champion transparency. He praised Twitter’s Community Notes and highlighted their meticulous approach to accuracy. The significant difference, according to Musk, lies in the open-source nature of the endeavor. He emphasized that criticism is embraced and the entire process is accessible.</p> 
 <p>Twitter’s Community Notes account echoed Musk’s sentiment, revealing that a pilot program in 23 European countries has been deemed successful and is now expanding. The account acknowledged the contributions of diverse language-speaking individuals whose notes have bridged borders and proved helpful. This inclusive approach, fostering a community of contributors, is a stark contrast to Facebook’s alleged manipulation.</p> 
 <p>As Musk’s accusation reverberates and prompts soul-searching within the digital realm, questions of accountability and transparency loom large. The juxtaposition of Musk’s call for openness with the alleged secrecy within Facebook’s algorithms forms a poignant backdrop to the ongoing debate over the role and responsibility of social media giants.</p>
