PANews reported on January 5 that according to Cointelegraph, Musk announced that the X social media algorithm will be modified soon. The algorithm will give priority to promoting content that is considered informative or educational rather than other types of content. This move has been widely opposed. Musk said that the planned changes are in response to "too much negative news" on social media sites. "Our goal is to maximize the time users spend on the site without regrets. Too many negative factors are promoted, which technically increases user time, but does not increase the time users spend on the site without regrets."
