User requests a dedicated news tab on X, powered by Grok, with a separate algorithm. It should avoid boosting/suppression, consolidate duplicate stories, rewrite biased headlines objectively, and personalize content based on user location and interests. The goal is to provide real-time, relevant news (local, national, international) that focuses on importance rather than outrage, improving user knowledge and decision-making.
Feature Request for X: A dedicated News tab. Standalone algorithm completely separate from the main feed. No boosting, no suppression, no one paying for placement. Grok reads everything on X and across news outlets in real time, collapses 40 duplicate stories into one card, rewrites biased headlines objectively and surfaces what actually matters based on who you are and where you live. X is where news breaks first. Citizens filming what cameras aren’t allowed to. Whistleblowers posting before lawyers can stop them. Wars, elections, and market moves reported in real time before any newsroom has even assigned a reporter. Open your feed today and you will see the same headline 40 times from AI slop farms optimizing for impressions. You will see old media pushing narratives so politically distorted they barely qualify as journalism. And buried underneath all of it, invisible, are the stories that actually matter. A tax bill quietly passed at midnight. A conflict escalating in a country most people can’t find on a map. A local ordinance that will affect your neighborhood before you even heard about it. Nobody sees those. Because the algorithm rewards outrage, not information. Trump said something. A celebrity did something. Rich people are bad. Repeat. Traditional media won’t cover it either. Too local or not enough outrage. We don’t have real news anymore. We have tabloids. I want to open X and learn that Tim Walz quietly passed a tax increase. That there is a war in Africa. That something is happening in my city. Not 30 articles about what Trump tweeted and not one story about the school board vote that just passed. And it learns. If your behavior shows you don’t care about which dog won a local competition it skips it. It figures out what matters to you specifically and makes sure you don’t miss it. One scroll. Local. National. International. Weighted by actual importance not by how much anger it generates. People who know what is happening make better decisions, have better conversations and produce better content. That is good for X. Good for democracy. Good for everything. Every other platform is racing to make you feel something. Build the one that makes you know something. News tab. Grok curated. No noise. Just the world as it actually is. Build it.
