I'm sure it's totes coincidental that the WaPo dropped this "newsletter" right behind Schiff's call for more censorship on social media.
And it's a bit odd the WaPo notes this is from a "fill-in" writer who spooksplains a collaborative think tank study released yesterday re conservatives posting so much misinfo, it's why we get suspended in far greater numbers than satanists & marxists on social media. They even hauled out algebraic equations to quantify their unbiased results. Jerks.
Given the findings, Menczer said, social media companies would have to be biased in favor of conservatives to sanction liberals at an equal rate.
We begin to shed new empirical light on this issue by taking a specific social media policy choice that has drawn intense criticism as a case study: Twitterโs suspension of users following the 2020 US presidential election. Specifically, in October 2020 we identified 100,000 Twitter users who shared hashtags related to the US presidential election, and randomly sampled 4,500 of those users who shared at least one #VoteBidenHarris2020 hashtag and 4,500 who shared at least one #Trump2020 hashtag.
First, accusations of political bias are based largely on anecdotes or salient unique cases, such as the suspension of former President Donald Trump. Our data allow us to evaluate these claims more systematically. Indeed, we find that accounts that had shared #Trump2020 during the election were 4.4 times more likely to have been subsequently suspended than those that shared #VoteBidenHarris2020 (ฯ2(1) = 486.9, P < 0.0001). Specifically, whereas only 4.5% of the users who shared Biden hashtags had been suspended as of July 2021, 19.6% of the users who shared Trump hashtags had been suspended.
