Democrats, Social Media bias, preferential algorithims, Twitter War against a conservative Republican.
Social Media (Executive Session); Congressional Record Vol. 168, No. 115
(Senate - July 13, 2022)
We have always had that argument, but recently NC State issued a
report that seems to find that--particularly with Gmail--we have an
imbalance between how information is disseminated, how candidates are
able to reach out for support. What the study found is a potential
political bias against Republicans in favor of Democratic candidates.
I know that this is very important for the future of elections, for
the future of participation in elections. And, again, I don't want a
platform that biases itself toward conservatives any more than I want
one that biases itself towards liberals. But I did have an opportunity
to talk with technologists at Google, who dismissed the report.
Incidentally, Twitter 2 months ago informed me that I was not who I
said I was, so they suspended my account. I tried to go through an
appeal process and finally just decided I don't need that Twitter
account. I am wondering if that was a result of an algorithm...
There may be other reasons. We already
know that Russia, China, other state actors influence public opinion in
the United States through their views and exploitation of social
platforms.
HEAVILY SNIPPED.
