Nope.  The filtering practice can be considered cyborg: part algorithm,
part human.  Even if the algorithm part is open-sourced, it still kicks
back to humans to allow for review.  It's a first pass/front line to
greatly reduce human workloads (and respond, at least in extreme cases,
much faster than humans), but it does not entirely eliminate them.

That's how the filtering algorithms I have worked on functioned, and I have
no reason to believe that Twitter is any different.
