The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever

An internal evaluation of Twitter’s recommendation algorithms concluded that they amplify right-leaning political content more than left-leaning content, company researchers announced Thursday, undercutting allegations by many conservatives who contend they are being censored on the platform.

Twitter researchers analyzed millions of 2020 tweets by elected officials in seven countries — Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Spain, Britain and United States — as well as posts that linked to political content from news outlets. Researchers relied on outside experts to determine what was right- or left-leaning rather than deciding for themselves.

“Our results reveal a remarkably consistent trend: In 6 out of 7 countries studied, the mainstream political right enjoys higher algorithmic amplification than the mainstream political left,” the researchers wrote in a 27-page report.

Lol…”let me find an opinion article that says the opposite”

Internal emails, communications, screenshots, data and second sourced quotes from employees at Twitter conformation of policy..bans, suppression of speech went only one way. And they outright lied about and now are caught

”I’ll ignore the facts and transparency straight from the source”

This is why they are mad, they can’t control false narratives anymore. It’s blown up in their face…so desperate attempts to prop up new false narratives to move away from the facts coming out

My favorite is this logic> 2018 “of course they aren’t censoring anybody you conspiracy nutbug” > now “of course they have been always censoring, it’s good and it’s always been”

Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is changing her party affiliation to independent, delivering a jolt to Democrats’ narrow majority and Washington along with it.

“I would just suggest that these are not the questions that I'm interested in,” Sinema said. “I want people to see that it is possible to do good work with folks from all different political persuasions, and to do it without the pressures or the poles of a party structure.”

We need more bi-partisanship in Congress ... whether it proves naive in this climate? who knows but good for her.

Boom…Elon say it again for everyone in the back!

I strongly disagree. Forcing your pronouns upon others when they didn’t ask, and implicitly ostracizing those who don’t, is neither good nor kind to anyone.

As for Fauci, he lied to Congress and funded gain-of-function research that killed millions of people. Not awesome imo.

This is what you sound like.

"I'm the victim, I'll call you whatever the fuck I want to. Fuck your pronouns."

Musk is a clown show, like the nerd that so desperately wants the cool kids to approve of him

Anyone with a head on their shoulders has always known that Twitter and Facebook were an arm of the democratic party. No way this information is surprising. The left will downplay it, the right will act shocked, but everyone already knew.

That is an accurate take. It's just each side is in the habit of officially denying or acting shocked at reality (Just see the media bias thread or heck at least one of the posts following this post).

Musk is an ass hat So if someone named James goes by Jimmy. Fuck you I call you what I want regardless of your personal decision? How can someone with so much power be so diffident?

It’s amazing to see Twitter made up the rules as they went to outright ban conservative opinions they didn’t like and not enforce the same rules against democrats and liberal voices.

The funniest was Head of Twitter security, the known pervert Yoel Roth, when Eric Holder said “ trump was purposely slowing us mail” on Twitter it received a warning which Perv Roth had removed because he approved that conspiracy theory.

The Biden campaign and later administration had a personal line and email box to the Twitter board where they submitted posts to remove and people to block. Email receipts posted confirmed it.

Screenshots also confirmed Fox News's Dan Bongino, youth activist Charlie Kirk, and Stanford CDC critic Dr Jay Bhattacharya were targeted to stop their accounts from gaining prominence. This is shadow banning which Twitter employees referred to VF, visibility filter.

When the Government works with Twitter to censor silent it’s critics….that’s actual fascism folks. So call it out.

Has anyone here been forced to use a pronoun?

or is this another right wing "culture war" thing that doesnt actually effect anyone
