A new report from Sky News shows that Twitter"or X, if you insist"appears to have an algorithmic bias toward showing users right-wing and "extreme" content. Specifically, the Sky News team ran a study where they created nine new Twitter/X accounts, three left-wing, three right-wing, and three politically neutral, and then tracked what content got dumped into their "For You" tabs on the Elon Musk-owned social media service during a one-month period in 2025. (Working with political analysts and data scientists to determine whether content was coming from "extreme" accounts on either end of the spectrum, and whether they were left or right-leaning in nature.) And, wouldn't you know it: While the experiment's right-wing accounts got almost exclusively right-wing material, all accounts got more of it than left-wing or neutral stuff. (Notably, the three "politically neutral" accounts got about twice as much right-wing content as left-wing content.)
