#PoliticalContent
my least favorite discourse is the constant bleating about how conservatives are discriminated against, when almost every platform amplifies them disproportionately.

twitter even commissioned a study and found the same thing:

3/14 "These channels seem to be using political content in particular, and what they feel is going to drive engagement," explains tech expert Paris Marx. Content farms can be left- or right-leaning, chasing revenue.

Yes happy to provide context. I was the director of the team who did the research on “algorithmic amplification” and found that in general center right content was amplified.

Twitterのアルゴリズム順表示がマスク以前からうんこだったことは、他ならぬTwitter自身の分析が公開されている。

アルゴリズムだけだとこういう結果が生じるから、ほんとは訓練を受けたスタッフによるモデレーションがとても大事。マスクはそこをいの一番に切った。そりゃ悪化するわな。
Examining algorithmic amplification of political content on Twitter
As we shared earlier this year, we believe it’s critical to study the effects of machine learning (ML) on the public conversation and share our findings publicly.

Thank you for cites. <3.

The META team found RW parties & content gets more algorithmic amplification globally & in the US https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2021/rml-politicalcontent but I don't see evidence Twitter changed the algo for them.

Maybe @ruchowdh.bsky.social will discuss :)

A study by Incogni reveals that 55% of #Americans are posting less on #socialmedia due to a shift in how they use it. The study found that maintaining an online presence feels like #work for many, with Gen Z feeling this most strongly. Concerns about data #privacy, #harassment, and the negative impact of #politicalcontent are also driving people away from social media. https://ca.pcmag.com/social-media/16790/the-death-of-the-status-update-why-55-of-americans-stopped-posting-on-social-media?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Meta is about to severely limit the reach of political content on Threads.

That means there's no way it can replace Twitter for journalists or newsrooms.

Because this will make it impossible to grow our followings.

Maybe more of us will give BlueSky a second look.

High % share articles without reading beyond the headline.

"Findings suggest the virality of #politicalcontent on social media (including #misinformation) is driven by superficial processing of #headlines & blurbs rather than systematic processing of core content."

Sharing without clicking on news in social media - Nature Human Behaviour
Over 75% of links to news shared on Facebook during the election seasons of 2017–2020 were forwarded without the sharer first clicking on them. Extreme and user-aligned political content was shared more, aiding the spread of partisan misinformation.

FTC greenlights Omnicom-Interpublic deal, bars coordination over political content
(Reuters) -Omnicom’s $13.5 billion acquisition of rival Interpublic can move forward on the condition that the new company does not enter agreements with others to steer ad dollars towards or away from publishers based on political content, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission said on Monday. The deal would still allow individual advertisers to specify where their ads are shown, according to the agency. Omnicom struck a $13.25 billion all-stock deal in December to buy rival Interpublic Group, creating the world’s largest advertising agency. Don't miss out on the next big opportunity!
