False. Twitter's original algorithm (everyone you followed in reverse insertion order) is trivially unbiased.
The bias creeps in when they analyze the content of the speech (or who specifically likes it or…). You can 100% do an unbiased algorithmic feed that re-orders (or omits) things.
Twitter and Facebook could do it today. They shadow ban and suppress all sorts of things (beyond kicking actual human users off the site).
