    New article in Nature describes a field experiment on X which shows that assigning users to an algorithmic feed increases engagement and shifts opinions to align more with conservative viewpoints and demotes mainstream news. Sounds obvious but important in light of prior claims that algorithms don't cause attitudinal changes.

      @leavex I thank you for this article, it substantiates the reason why I left twitter the moment he took over. I was aware of the type of person he is - having grown up in S.A. during apartheid times.

          Politics won't matter for users trolled into being anti-vaccine and anti-mask by Russian bots.

          Vacca means cow. As in "take some matter from a cow pustule".

          They aren't playing around:

            @leavex @elon12@mastodon.social or maybe 12 because it's in the 12-16yo age range in which Grok generated CSAM. Or maybe Musk likes 12yo girls...

              IOW (In Other Words)
              Brainwashing - also see conservative press broadcasts, biased to the treasonous evil villain persona.
