It is biased. As is any and all moderation, inherently.

Biased toward science. A bias toward the rational is a positive, healthy bias.

Rather than cowering about bias, Twitter should very openly and very aggressively stake out a clear and biased position; ie, this is our ground: we're pro science, pro vaccines, and we're going to hold that ground, period (whether anyone else likes it or not, and our algorithms will bias this way accordingly).

I dont mind this position. Ultimately it needs to be open and free to discuss. By saying this is offlimits, the cat and mouse game begins and we invent new words that will generally be understood in their place.

Well sure, but in the context of this discussion "bias" implies political.
