The universe of algos

Isn’t it funny when you go to type in Sussman and this is the first result you get?

Twitter is openly advocating for the President of the United States by placing what they deem to be positive content about him ahead of my search request. Insane.

This is the world we live in now. Everyone suggesting what you should look at even when you absolutely know what you want to look at.

I think Elon needs to burn Twitter down. I also think that the Feds should continue to go after Facebook for antitrust violations.

This shit needs to stop. Particularly after they proved the last 4 years that they will offer the opposite sentiment for a political leader they don’t favor.

Interesting. You’d fully support this if Trump were in office.

It’s such a bullshit response. I 100% would not.

Twitter is a private company and can do whatever they want provided they don’t break the law. Do you think the government should regulate software companies now?

I can see the need to regular roads, water, electricity. There is generally only one option for those do to infrastructure requirements. We don’t regulate internet or phones though (many countries have extremely well done internet, and some muni’s in the US), but you want to regulate a website? A website you choose to go to? Makes no sense.

Controlling a market to such an extent as does Twitter raises anti-trust, monopolistic concerns. Twitter as a private concern does not have carte blanche authority to do whatever it pleases regulating through censorship what has become a public forum for citizen discourse…

But you would. Do you know how I know that? You’ve supported the idea of the government taking over the media. You said this because you didn’t like how the media was portraying Trump.

Love all these so called “conservatives” in here demanding govt control of industries. Then Axis Sally running in to start talking about monopolies and how big govt should break them up too (direct attack on his pure market capitalism - btw I agree). Just some all and all funny ass shit.

Your own analogy reveals why I’m right.

What if you were traveling down the highway and you selected a sign that said Chicago, and it brought you to Gary Indiana? Should you have a problem with that?

And I’m not saying we should regulate software. We should regulate PRACTICES that software makers employ that are devious or misleading…. PARTICULARLY WHEN THEY ADVOCATE FOR A POLITICAL CANDIDATE OR OFFICE DECEPTIVELY.

Just another flat out lie.

I don’t care how the media covers something.

I do care when it’s obvious that the media favors one political party to the point of creating a complete disinformation network.

Look at the Sussman trial for instance. The media barely covered it pretrial and during the trial.

The moment the man is found not guilty they literally all cheered together. You should go Google yesterdays headlines.

If you can’t see the difference I have nothing left to offer you.

That isn’t a lie. YOU EXPLICITLY AND OPENLY ADVOCATED FOR THIS.

His explanation of my intent was a lie. Get with the program cornball.

You’re such a fucking idiot. It’s just remarkable. Twitter works its algorithm to you, dumbass. My search results aren’t the same as YOUR search results, fucking whiny dunce.

My top results

You’re such a whiny bitch. If you KNOW what you WANT to look at, go look at it! You want the world to just think like you and believe what you do and you’re butthurt they don’t.

False. Once again, like everything else, you couldn’t find your dick in the dark.

HAHA!!! How typical of hypocrite Republicans like this sack of trash…these are the same people who think corporations can do anything they want, that corporations are people…until their fascist dictator and other white nationalist traitors get kicked off for violating their terms of service, and then these fascist sacks of shit like Bikki want to use the power of the federal government to enforce their political beefs.

In the end, these conservative traitors never wanted limited government. They’re the first to use the power of the state to attack private citizens or corporations for not following the party line. True authoritarians like Bikki have no honor, no integrity and zero honesty.

Of course, this is not what is happening. What is happening is you’re reading stories that upset you because you have a problem with both reality and other people’s opinions. You’re a true authoritarian and THE true communist on this board. You’re the only person on here who’s called for the government to take over private industries, and you continue to do so.

Why? They are a private company. You aren’t saying the same thing about OTHER private companies who advocate for certain political candidates OR churches who do the same thing.

You’re a hypocrite. You’re a butthurt little bitch who can’t stand the rest of the world exists outside of your head. You’re a communist. You’re an authoritarian. But most of all, and to reiterate…you SUCH a fucking little baby. I have never in my life seen such a group of little whiny bitch babies as I have with this MAGA crowd.

Watching you meltdown over the fact that other people exist is beautiful.

If I dared to find it, I would. You absolutely made this statement more than once during Trump’s presidency. You said it wouldn’t be permanent, but I would be in place until various concerns were sorted out.

I remember this clearly.

Lol…Board moderator^^^

This is called product placement. You’d be hard pressed to find a place it doesn’t exist.

You walk in a bookstore… who do you think pays for the books on the front tables?
In a grocery store… who pays for their products to be the most easily accessible on eye level?
Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, etc. even what’s on FOX NEWS, it’s all bought and paid for.

Welcome to capitalism.

You are making astronomically large assumptions here. First of all, I opt out of all cookie’s on the internet and have strict settings. Secondly, I’m not looking at the types of stories you mention at all. Thirdly, even if I was, why would that tip the algorithm to show me Joe Biden propaganda?

You’re a over the place dude. Slow down.

First of all- they are NOT a private company. They are a publicly traded company. And publicly traded companies are not held to the same standards as private companies.

Imagine being this angry with people you don’t know. Guy is an absolute mental patient. Probably screams at people in the street for no reason.

Hilarious line. I don’t think I’ve ever “melted down.”

Meanwhile you and DJ do it on a daily basis.

Cookie disabling is a joke. If you’re not disabling javascript and using ad-blockers, very little of what you’re doing on the web isn’t tracked.

Even then, cookies and other web-tracking methods have almost nothing to do with social media tracking methods. For one, if you ever use the app instead of the browser, all bets are off and they can pretty much track anything they want. But even then, when you log into a site with an account, you are being tracked, period. they have your profile, they know what you click, etc.

Trust me when I say twitter knows you are a conservative. It’s very likely they showed you that article because they figured it would piss you off (in the hopes that it incited a reaction). Whether or not their algorithm is successful is another matter.

Again you’re wrong. Not that I have to reveal my countermeasures to a stranger but you are making a million wrong assumptions.
