It is not true that "everything is open source and transparent" in Twitter/X. 1) Only part of its source code was ever made public (shortly after it was leaked) https://www.reuters.com/technology/twitter-makes-content-recommendation-code-public-2023-03-31/ https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/03/who-leaked-twitters-source-code.html 2) There is documented plaform manipulation, for example "likes" being actively suppressed on some tweets https://twitter.com/hoblon/status/1709608480275906583 https://x-tracker.hobl.in/
