Sure I can.

All the right-wing sources I followed on twitter were banned. Therefore I didn't get ANY content sent to me.

How is that a bias FOR right-wing sources?

This is how, straight from the article:

> According to a 27-page research document, Twitter found a “statistically significant difference favouring the political right wing” in all the countries except Germany. Under the research, a value of 0% meant tweets reached the same number of users on the algorithm-tailored timeline as on its chronological counterpart, whereas a value of 100% meant tweets achieved double the reach.

There are crazy left-wing sources that are also banned, are you going to use that as "proof" that Twitter is biased against the left? You're cherrypicking.

Can you list left wing sources that are banned from twitter? I'm struggling here. The KKK, maybe?
