It's for content analytics, and I assume it's to make sure that changes to the platform can't be argued to bias one party over another.

Or even maybe to provide some background to various bits of lingo / acronyms people use.

I’m thinking along the lines of common word’s that have vastly different meanings depending on who’s saying it.

So false equivalence is written into the platform. Insane opinions of one party must be displayed as often as moderate opinions of the other. It definitely works for angering everyone on Twitter, not so much for actual dialog or progress.
