So, election interference?
- Tostino 2y agoWhich will have nothing done about it, just like his "lottery" he was running to promote trump.
- worldsayshi 2y agoIf the lottery will not have repercussions, or if it would have had repercussions if the other side won, I don't see how the checks and balances can be said to be functional.
- api 2y agoIt was only election interference when Twitter’s former owners did it.
- jvanderbot 2y agoHow is this defined and why does everything suddenly qualify. Don't get me wrong I don't like singular influence like this either, but what's the legality and how do we draw the like between this and any other attempts to sway public opinion by tuning content?
- the_mitsuhiko 2y agoMy understanding of US election law is that all of this is legal (in case this really did take place). If it's moral is a different question.
- Spivak 2y agoI think the easiest way to read these types of comments is not that they're actually election interference or even really accusing the behavior of being election interference but making a joke about all the nonsense that was called election interference in 2020 and pointing out the hypocrisy of not caring about the same behavior now that they're engaging in it.
- jvanderbot 2y agoThis is the most polite "whoosh" I've ever had levied against me. Thanks!

- James_K 2y agoHow exactly is "election interference" defined? Because it seems to extend to any action that effects the outcome of an election. Is campaigning election interference? What about voting?

- somat 2y agoIt probably was interference, however note that removing left bias has exactly the same result as adding right bias. I guess what I am trying to say is measuring bias sounds like a long and profitable academic career in itself. That is, hard to define, vague methodology, and uncertain results.
