Do you have some respectable polling data to support this claim? I also visit some of the biased websites that constantly beat that drum, but that doesn't mean this opinion is held by the general public.
- MichaelGG 10y agoI don't use Twitter much[1], but I see the opposite. They selectively censor to push their type of politics. They hide trending tags they don't like. I don't trust them at all. It'd be great if Google bought them for one reason: see what they do with the censorship part. Will they continue picking off tags they don't like and open up the idea that Google is deliberately biasing things? Or will Twitter users suddenly see popular trends they never saw before? 1: The website is hostile to consuming content. If you scroll down a few pages of tweets then click an image or something, you lose your spot. Pressing back brings you to the bottom of the first "page" of tweets, not however far you had scrolled. Add in the slowness and wow, it's really quite a bad experience.
