This is exactly the kind of bias that made me leave Twitter.
Jack Dorsey and his left leaning garbage aren't called out for trying to affect elections but should be and finally are.
@Wetrix given how often Facebook has gotten this wrong against left-leaning figures (not familiar with Twitter's situation but it's probably similar) it's likely automation or human error though.
Also:
The myth of social media anti-conservative bias refuses to die https://www.cjr.org/the_media_today/platform-bias.php
@michel_slm that's because it's not a myth.
Follow the money and see who the tech giants donate to.
They don't even hide the fact they're biased and hate Republicans.
@Wetrix eh you'll be surprised how many GOP candidates that the left hates get money from Facebook. It's 50-50.
Now Twitter might be different (I doubt it) but given tech employees think their companies suck up to conservatives and conservatives think they're persecuted, both can't be entirely right
@michel_slm oh for sure, but the bias is undeniable with shadow banning.
Now this latest debacle with Mitchell is even worse and more blatant. That's why they're being boycotted.
@Wetrix mind you, regardless of political bias I'm not going to cry over Twitter being less popular. My beef is over attention economy mechanisms in general though (it tends to promote sensationalism just to keep users glued to the screen).
And the privacy hostile data practices that go along with it.
