I thought this would be some kind of secret, not-for-sale special sauce

    Is this the one that says Elon’s tweets must be pushed front and center to everyone, even people who have blocked him?

    I can believe it is a one time (or few times) snapshot of part of the recommendation feed. But do you have anyway of actually validating that is the code that is running on Twitter today?

        Given the e2ee is basically the same as signals I’m fairly confident that part is secure. However you still need to trust the app as a whole because it has access to all the unencrypted data. If Meta slip up or are found out leaking what is supposedly protected it would erode trust pretty quickly and they will lose one of the most important data sources they have (the social graph of phone numbers).
