And, as
@JuddLegum points out, these are decisions being made by people. Perhaps not directly (although some definitely are) but by an algorithm designed by people. This algorithm prioritizes engagement far more than facts or substantive discussion.https://twitter.com/juddlegum/status/1309878563005501441 …Show this threadThanks.

It’s also intentional that they make this about political parties rather than simply hate, violence and conspiracies. This is not about who you vote for, it’s about ridding the platform of the things that will do individuals, our society and our democracy harm.

I’ll also note that this new justification is completely contradicts what Facebook has been telling me,
@kevinroose, and others. Specifically that Facebook does not favor right-wing content, we were just looking at the wrong data.Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

This does not play out in other contexts. Outside of Facebook, The Daily Wire does not recieve “more engagement” than the New York Times. They’ve DECIDED to create a system that rewards incindiary, inaccurate, and bigoted content.

Facebook says that it’s algorithm is neutral but the right-wing is just BETTER at connecting with people on a “visceral level.” But it was HUMANS at Facebook who CHOSE to make their algorithm favor content that elicits visceral emotionshttps://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/26/facebook-conservatives-2020-421146 …

Two Russian bots/trolls are arguing in response my tweets. I know I shouldn’t care but it’s entrancing like watching two automated Roomba vacuums bouncing off each other. I can’t stop wondering if it’s one lonely guy working the late shift or Jim and Dwight in adjacent cubicles.

Now
@TheJusticeDept is a government version of James O'Keefe's Project Veritas. Prosecutorial lies & partisan abuse should be terrifying. Particularly when prosecutors violate every DOJ rule on disclosure to create a fake "crime"" for a Fox News report.

Joe Biden: "The American people aren't going to be shut down in this election." "They're going to vote in large numbers, and they're just not going to be denied, and it's going to be clear from the beginning exactly where this is going."https://nbcnews.to/3mMygOW

Trumpism is a fascist death cult. It will destroy us. We must disabuse ourselves of these myths, these lies, this poisonous division, and we must do it in a hurry. He isn't kidding. He isn't playing around. This is a full-blown crisis and we must meet it head-on. 34/34

The antidotes to fascism are truth, community, and love. Fascism hides behind these lies, behind its weaponized veneer. We have to name it, expose it, diagnose it, and reject it. We must repair our communal bonds before the atomization damns us to a fascist future. 33/

Again. This is a war over the very nature of reality. Fascism weaponizes it, vilifies opposition, rejects empirical evidence, destroys democracy, and creates an altered reality where power and profit can be run by a single cult leader or their fascist religion. 32/

Trumpism isn't populism. It's literally fascism. We must face this truth and call it what it is before it's too late. Because we're lost in our myths, because we think we're exceptional, it makes so much more susceptible to this poison. It aids fascism. 31/pic.twitter.com/KDXWLaeKU5

What we are seeing, with Trumpism, is an attempt to actively outlaw, vilify, and destroy any alternative worldview. This is a literal battle over reality where the fascist cult will intimidate, harm, or kill anyone who disagrees with their manufactured worldview. 30/pic.twitter.com/barMJw398I

And, in this white supremacist reality, protesters or dissenting voices are cast as evil, as parts of a giant, satanic conspiracy against the godly country. This has been the case in America since it's very beginning, and we're watching it play out again. 29/pic.twitter.com/7ZkKiaMRn5

The Deep State and Qanon are just revamps of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Ways to explain how an exceptional, chosen country has failed. Because it has to be a conspiracy. It can't be mistakes, poor choices, and national failings. It has to be a supernatural battle 28/pic.twitter.com/hexa3yDR94

In the fascist society, everything is a conspiracy against the chosen reality of the leader. Anyone who dissents, anyone who complains, anyone who even asks questions is doing it from a point of opposition to the religion. They're literally agents of a satanic conspiracy. 27/pic.twitter.com/aHuFwBm1qL

Experts who disagree with Trump's reality are cast as traitors, because the alternate reality of the fascist cult demonizes anyone who doesn't defer to the leader's reality. The result is intimidation, violence, even murder, for anyone who doesn't agree with the reality. 26/pic.twitter.com/l2LAQiGapP
