Twitter is funding a small independent team of up to five open source architects, engineers, and designers to develop an open and decentralized standard for social media. The goal is for Twitter to ultimately be a client of this standard.

Recently we came across
@mmasnick’s article “Protocols, Not Platforms” which captures a number of the challenges and solutions. But more importantly, it reminded us of a credible path forward: hire folks to develop a standard in the open.https://knightcolumbia.org/content/protocols-not-platforms-a-technological-approach-to-free-speech …Prikaži ovu nit -
Square is doing exactly this for bitcoin with
@SqCrypto. For social media, we’d like this team to either find an existing decentralized standard they can help move forward, or failing that, create one from scratch. That’s the only direction we at Twitter, Inc. will provide.Prikaži ovu nit -
Why is this good for Twitter? It will allow us to access and contribute to a much larger corpus of public conversation, focus our efforts on building open recommendation algorithms which promote healthy conversation, and will force us to be far more innovative than in the past.

There are MANY challenges to make this work that Twitter would feel right becoming a client of this standard. Which is why the work must be done transparently in the open, not owned by any single private corporation, furthering the open & decentralized principles of the internet.

We’d expect this team not only to develop a decentralized standard for social media, but to also build open community around it, inclusive of companies & organizations, researchers, civil society leaders, all who are thinking deeply about the consequences, positive and negative.

This isn’t going to happen overnight. It will take many years to develop a sound, scalable, and usable decentralized standard for social media that paves the path to solving the challenges listed above. Our commitment is to fund this work to that point and beyond.

As Stephen outlined in his testimony to the Senate, we coincidentally developed a "final ranking provider" solution that's already in use by thousands. Details here:https://blog.thefactual.com/delivering-on-stephen-wolframs-vision-for-addressing-algorithmic-transparency …

@thedextriarchy - Given your article on Jack's tweetstorm thought you might like to see a live implementation of a content rating system developed by @thefactualinc. Just for kicks, here is how your article rates:pic.twitter.com/6IdvpCBaCe
