Want to see Twitter's manipulation in action? Just go to their search page, and type in "donald trump." See what comes up. See how their "top" results show low-level accounts with little engagement somehow showing up in the top 10 & top 20 tweets. Notice what they have in common.

Post yours? If they’re different to mine one claim can’t cover all. Be interested if they are.
Good idea. We should set up some bipartisan “search labs” to see how much is a universal glitch effecting all vs potential bias

Another example of “had this from the left already”. Guy I follow claimed it creates “bubbles - see who they ‘suggest’ and if they’re from the other camp” Thanks tomdiverse interests mine represent the whole spectrum. Claim disproven.

Confirmation bias is huge in analysing what Bug Tech are doing to us. That and a lack of knowledge *how* they do it. This is one obvious example. Is it high tech - based on all your interactions or low tech - same boring text match for everyone who uses search function.

Dat screen cap game tho! Dude! Yeah, mine are different. I get Pew Research at number one (which I use a lot) and Junior as suggestion (as I don’t folllow any trump) and so on.

I do get slate and mother jones as you do. (Very rarely been there in twitter and don’t follow them)

If you’re serious - first step is define representative search terms.
