So what is your view on content ranking algorithms? Should those be illegal, to ensure that the platform is indeed completely indifferent?

and if you disallow content ranking algos on twitter, then how do you search? Who or what gets to determine what is similar and/or relevant?

I don't have a strong opinion on this. Maybe there should be a button to show you why exactly you get what you get. I definitely don't like the opaque nature of these content curation algos.
