I hope Ted Cruz doesn't believe it's the role of an elected official, of all people, to be "in charge of what the media are allowed to report and what the American people are allowed to hear," as his comment seems to imply. If a shitty social media company wants to filter people's access to information that's one thing, if an elected official tries to do it that's something else entirely.
- gremlinsinc 6y agoMaybe they should apply this same logic to make mainstream media require neutrality when reporting the news. (all are bad, not saying they aren't, but let's start with Fox News). If Fox news can't be forced to let equal number of progressives on as conservatives, then why should Twitter be forced to modify their algorithm at all?
