Legal Filing Reveals Someone Posted Twitter Source Code On GitHub – SlashGear

The source code segment was leaked by a person with the GitHub profile name of FreeSpeechEnthusiast, which seems like an indirect pun on Musk’s repeated claims of being a “free speech absolutist.” However, it’s unclear if the alleged employee was among the thousands who were fired soon after Musk took over as the company’s owner and CEO. Notably, Musk’s mercurial leadership style that demands hardcore work ethics hasn’t really left a universally good impression among current and former employees. So far, there have been no reports of the source code portion being exploited by bad actors.

Interestingly, Musk recently promised that Twitter will open-source the portion of its code powering the content recommendation algorithm. The idea behind the move is to boost transparency so that people can get an idea as to why they are seeing what they are seeing on Twitter. However, Musk may be backpedaling on Twitter’s open-source efforts. Citing anonymous sources, a ZDNet report says Musk has fired employees that were overseeing Twitter’s planned migration toward a more open-source operating approach.
