Can you, uh, share that abundant evidence?

  Clear-cut example #1, which you might consider "flipping switches" more than part of the algo is the suppression of posting about Hunter Biden/laptop on Twitter. Instagram also downweights posts about Biden passing 1994 crime bill. [0] [0]: https://twitter.com/perma___ben/status/1339293381625864195 https://twitter.com/perma___ben/status/1339293381625864195

    Do you have something substantive? IE, evidence that there is a systemic, large-scale policy being applied? Anyway, it looks like they outsource their fact checking and applied a fact check. The fact check is extensively documented here: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/07/03/fact-check-1994-crime-bill-didnt-bring-mass-incarceration-black-people/3250210001/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/07/03/fac... I'm a bit tired of the "aggrieved people claiming censorship" over small potatoes that often turns out to be "the company applied their policy uniformly"

    The posts with the biggest reach are consistently from right-wing sources on Facebook (or were when they released this data). Is the suppression just highly targeted?
