I posted a study, one that is peer reviewed. Feel free to read it, feel free to make paper airplanes. I don't care. I'm not your mommy.

Post some of those studies.
Here is one.

I don't feel like playing your games, so unless you have an article proving this article wrong, I won't be responding.
Quote from the article “ our experiment does not satisfy the well-known Stable Unit Treatment Value Assumption from causal inference (23). As a consequence, it cannot provide unbiased estimates of causal quantities of interest, such as the average treatment effect.”
In their own words their study is not reliable.

The actual situation.
Quote:
The experimental setup has some inherent limitations. A first limitation stems from interaction effects between individuals in the analysis (22). In social networks, the control group can never be isolated from indirect effects of personalization, as individuals in the control group encounter content shared by users in the treatment group. Therefore, although a randomized controlled experiment, our experiment does not satisfy the well-known Stable Unit Treatment Value Assumption from causal inference (23). As a consequence, it cannot provide unbiased estimates of causal quantities of interest, such as the average treatment effect. In this study, we chose to not employ intricate causal inference machinery that is often used to approximate causal quantities (24), as this would not guarantee unbiased estimates in the complex setting of Twitter’s home timeline algorithm. Building an elaborate causal diagram of this complex system is well beyond the scope of our observational study. Instead, we present findings based on simple comparison of measurements between the treatment and control groups. Intuitively, we expect peer effects to decrease observable differences between the control and treatment groups; thus, our reported statistics likely underestimate the true causal effects of personalization.
They admitted to underestimating how far right (politically) it favors.

Hopefully somebody can bring some peer reviewed counter points. I welcome it.

He's from South Africa and was born rich. Basically another planet for the majority of us, not in the South Africa sense but the rich sense.

My informal impression is that they liked the volume of traffic the Trump brought to the site and probably bent the rules more for him than the average nobody, but Jan 6 led them to the conclusion that shit had got real and it was not just fun and games any more.

Any day now(3 years? 10 years) twitter is going to come crashing down when people realize it's just another way for their personal information to be collected, and sold and that it's bad for society in general.
Just like facebook, twitter will crash and burn

Because he consistently broke the rules and abused twitter for personal gain?
Someone can be very rightwing and very much against Trump

Maybe he is going to integrate twitter into his cars. Like Teslas tweeting all over the place as they automatically do other shit.
Also, is trump unbanned? I heard a shitload of restricted/blocked accounts were unblocked today.

More reason for me to never use it. Elon Musk is scum. He added an "M" to the logo, what a fucking narcissist.

The amount of hate for elon musk is pretty funny. Because he's rich, he must be evil and doing bad things. He's just like a caricature to you guys, all because he has a lot of money. You're not really basing your beliefs on anything real about him, you're just assuming he's evil because you don't like the fact that he has a lot of money. Anyone with money must be bad!
There was a time in the US when successful entrepreneurs were looked up to, but like I guess feel free to baselessly assume the worst about him and hate him. I can understand if you're from europe or outside the US, you guys have never had the same attitude, but it's weird seeing America become this place that hates successful people just because they're successful. I guess they're an easy target though. I bet a lot of you guys are just jealous.

He's a mad man. I admire his tenacity. He's a really smart business person, obviously.
That doesn't mean he is perfect though. I know a few people that were engineers at Tesla, they treat their people horribly. An ex of mine is an engineer at SpaceX, they treat their people horribly. It's okay to admire him but remain honest about how he got where he is. He was born wealthy and has used it well.

I don't really care much about musk himself, I've just always been weirded out by celebrity worship.
It's fun to point out the imperfections of someone's idol and then watch the salt flow.
