The investigation looked at what content from political parties and politicians is shown to newly created accounts that are interested in parties and politicians from either the left or the right.

It found that the algorithms push content from the far right to the right-leaning and left-leaning accounts and, to a lesser extent, push content from the radical left to left-leaning accounts.

I am so tired of "journalism" that's just shocked Pikachuing about crap that people already know, and HAVE already known, for YEARS.

It's either a total waste of time, or people are so thick and oblivious that they don't know something that's been staring them DIRECTLY In the face for AGES, and I honestly can't decide which explanation is more depressing.

You need to verify your hypothesis if you want other people to build on it or everything will eventually crumble down like a house of cards.
