Progressive haven?

A law was needed that made sure to personally hold twitter management liable just to make sure that twitter would actually suspend open Nazis (the kind that actually posts swastikas).

[See: Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz]

How is that a progressive haven, wtf?

For some reason people who say things like this are completely unable to understand the data which supports that conservatives are amplified on social networks far more than liberals are. Conspiracy theorists aren't swayed by little things like data.

> “There is no evidence to support the claim that the major social media companies are suppressing, censoring or otherwise discriminating against conservatives on their platforms,” Barrett said. “In fact, it is often conservatives who gain the most in terms of engagement and online attention, thanks to the platforms’ systems of algorithmic promotion of content.”

Ah yes, the old "anyone who disagrees with me is a conspiracy theorist / racist / fascist" trope. Do better.

You didn't even disagree, you posted a vapid knee-jerk.

I mean, better than just posting no link at all. So I should believe that Twitter had a left wing bias because some guy on a forum said so?
