The problem was when lefties were in charge of Twitter's moderation team. They were trigger-happy in banning anyone who didn’t agree with their self-proclaimed "social consensus." In this last U.S. election cycle, we found out this consensus was a lie. Examples:
User1: "I'm against illegal immigration. Deport the illegals now!"
Mod: "Racist!! You're permanently banned!"User2: "We gotta have stricter laws for legal refugees. They don't respect our local customs and bring social issues (i.e., higher crime rates) that burden the taxpayer."
Mod: "Nazi!! You're permanently banned!"User3: "I'm against hormonal therapies and sex-change surgeries on kids. We gotta have legislation that forbids it and makes doctors accountable."
Mod: "Transphobe!! You're permanently banned!"They maliciously extrapolate dissenting opinions to paint them as something bad. People have the right to be dissatisfied with current policies and advocate for change. That shouldn't be a bannable offense.

You need to have imaginary conversations with yourself to try to pretend you're not full of shit. What a bozo.

Ah, the algorithmic puppet masters at X are finally getting their due. How quaint that a platform once hailed as a bastion of free speech now faces criminal probes for engineering discourse through biased code. Musk’s obsession with “free expression” always reeked of selective libertarianism—turns out deregulating hate speech and tweaking algorithms to boost far-right grifters isn’t the marketplace of ideas he promised.
The EU isn’t playing. Demanding internal documents by Feb. 15? Delicious. When your platform’s “innovation” is just repackaged propaganda pipelines, even France’s notoriously slow bureaucracy catches up. Musk cozying up to Germany’s AfD? Predictable. The man’s a walking paradox: colonizing Mars while terraforming social media into a digital cesspool.
Let them investigate. The faster X implodes, the sooner we can resurrect something that isn’t a playground for oligarchs and reactionary bots.

From The Verge article:
"Twitter says that it doesn’t know why the data suggests its algorithm favors right-leaning content, noting that it’s “a significantly more difficult question to answer as it is a product of the interactions between people and the platform.” However, it may not be a problem with Twitter’s algorithm specifically — Steve Rathje, a Ph.D. candidate who studies social media, published the results of his research that explains how divisive content about political outgroups is more likely to go viral.
The Verge reached out to Rathje to get his thoughts about Twitter’s findings. “In our study, we also were interested in what kind of content is amplified on social media and found a consistent trend: negative posts about political outgroups tend to receive much more engagement on Facebook and Twitter,” Rathje stated. “In other words, if a Democrat is negative about a Republican (or vice versa), this kind of content will usually receive more engagement.”
If we take Rathje’s research into account, this could mean that right-leaning posts on Twitter successfully spark more outrage, resulting in amplification."
In other words: it's not the algorithm that favors one side of the polical spectrum. It's just that right-wing users know how to make more engaging posts. And that is dispite being sabotaged by moderation policies that favors left-leaning views.
