Oh fuck, isn't there something in the bible about this sort of thing heralding the end times? "The frogs and the posh shall lay down together" or something?

Come on Europe. Fuck this guy up before he fucks our continent up.

X has been accused of manipulating its systems to give far-right posts and politicians greater visibility over other political groups.

Before Elon bought Twitter, the system did the exact same thing, but with left-leaning posts. Back then, the French prosecutors didn't seem to care. Now that the political tide is changing, they suddenly care?

[rolder@reddthat.com]

Is there any evidence of it favoring left leaning posts?

BBC: Twitter's algorithm favours right-leaning politics, research finds

The Verge: Twitter’s research shows that its algorithm favors conservative views

Salon: Contrary to popular belief, Twitter's algorithm amplifies conservatives, not liberals: study

I followed some pretty vocal british right leaning voices who seemed like more or less reasonable folk before they later ended up succumbing to Trump hysteria, and I can assure you they did not blanketly ban right wing users at all.

Of the prominent right-wing voices they did, I'm struggling to remember ones that didn't deserve it at some point for one reason or another.

I remember the Hunter Biden scandal being a hot mess to navigate not least of all because its biggest voices were some of the guiltiest of major misinformation, which made it hard for most reasonable folks to take seriously including the social media companies with Zuckerberg for FB coming out and saying they were limiting it till it could be verified by a third party.

I am really glad to hear that various EU countries are starting Serious Legal Proceedings against eel-on-musk, and I know these things take time, but gods damn I wish they would hurry the fuck up and hit him with some punitive action that he so richly deserves.

Congratulations on believing propaganda instead of your own eyeballs. The transformation is complete.
