The Algorithm’s Affirmative Action.
Fairness, but Make It Trending.
Apparently, X is giving a slight boost
to right-leaning accounts.
Cue the outrage.
The think pieces.
The fainting couches.
Cue
@owenjonesjourno 😂
But hang on just a moment....
isn’t this what we’ve all
agreed on for years?
That under-represented groups
deserve a little algorithmic help?
Old Twitter leaned left for a decade
suspensions, shadow bans, the lot.
It’s only fair the algorithm swings
the other way for a bit right?
Call it Equity in the Feed.
A digital Black History Month...
for opinions that were previously exiled.
Academia’s left.
Hollywood’s left.
Legacy News left.
So if the algorithm
finally lets a few new voices up for air.
maybe that’s not the end of democracy.
Maybe it’s just democracy catching its breath.
Equity in the Feed - the left should love it!
Owen....Are you there mate?
