Left-wing technology news outlet Gizmodo appears to have finally noticed Twitter censorship, publishing an article Sunday which claimed the platform “may be demoting controversial accounts in search results.”
“In what appears to be new ranking behavior, Gizmodo has identified several prominent far-right accounts now buried by Twitter’s search feature,” the site claimed. “As an unintended side effect of demoting divisive figures, many of the dropdown results now show fake accounts.”
Some examples of accounts which have been censored include author and journalist Mike Cernovich, author and YouTuber Stefan Molyneux, InfoWars Editor-at-Large Paul Joseph Watson, Gateway Pundit founder Jim Hoft, and commentator Laura Loomer.
The demotion censorship makes it so that these accounts are not recommended when users search for them, with Twitter’s algorithm preferring to recommend fake impersonation accounts than the real users.
The accounts could only be found after a user hit enter, but were not recommended in the search bar.
The left worries about the 1st Amendment while they try to censor anyone’ opinion they don’t want seen. Maybe “worries” is the wrong term.
Face book stock took a faceplant due IMO to censoring and account suspensions.
Try opening a new account on twitter and they tell you straight up we are gonna collect information what you do, your browser and device, Their privacy policy is you dont deserve any privacy ever.
