Opinion: Twitter, free speech and the free market
I love it because when I joined, I “followed” people, so I get to learn what they think. I also learn what the crowd thinks, and sometimes I get breaking news. Hooray for Twitter.After I read my Twitter feed, I often feel disgusted with myself. Social media algorithms cleverly show me more of what gets me engaged, what I look at a moment longer. That often includes posts that make me angry. So they send me more of those. Fights. Sarcasm. Snarky putdowns.
I post a new Stossel TV video every Tuesday. Lots of people signed up to receive them, but Twitter won’t send my tweets to most of them. A million people chose to follow me on Twitter, but Twitter shows my posts to only 5 or 10% of them!I will post a link to this column, too. Ninety percent of my followers won’t see it.
Do they bury them because some employee doesn’t like me? Doesn’t like libertarians? I don’t know. The algorithm is secret. Twitter does carry plenty of posts from libertarians and conservatives. But their “content moderators” favor the left.Just weeks before the last election, the New York Post reported, accurately, on the sleaze on Hunter Biden’s computer.
