Does this mean that Twitter has acted as a foreign Russian agent?

We suspected it for a long time, now we have the proof: The Twitter algorithm reduces the visibility of tweets on #Ukraine. https://twitter.com/aakashg0/status/1641976925064245249

After the hearing today, this is what its come to. #tiktokban #tiktokhearing
eicker.news #technews »That #TikTokhearing was pretty messed up, right? Instead of asking actual important #questions related to how #TikTok does business and uses the data, #Congress was focused on being #xenophobic, and people noticed.« https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/24/23654831/tiktok-congressional-hearing-xenophobia-china

The more I see of the #tiktokhearing the clearer it is to me that more #coders need to run for Congress.
I also found it egregious that complaints of disinformation have been levied against #TikTok, not because they're untrue, but because of the externalities that made such problems come to fruition:
For decades, the U.S. Republican Party has been fomenting an anti-intellectual politic, and undermining authorities who once had a soft power to keep disinformation in check. #TikTokHearing #USpol
On the topic of #TikTokHearing:
All criticisms of the social media site are well warranted, especially when it comes to the sale of personal data and the well being of its users.
However, all of these problems are not unique to, and have even predated TikTok. Organizations like the #EFF have been sounding the alarm on wanton data harvesting schemes for decades, and still no national privacy standard exists. TikTok's issues are a product of American policy failures. #USpol
You'd think a sitting member of Congress publicly admitting that he has no idea how wifi works would be bigger news. But alas, its America so stupidity isn't considered disqualifying but rather an appeal to "the common man" who is also assumed to be a f'ing idiot. #tiktok #tiktokhearing
And just to be clear, there's a lot of legitimate criticism of TikTok (and its ties). But how about bringing some expertise next time you intend to "grill" someone in a hearing?
The USA has some of the stupidest people in Government. 🤦🏻♀️

Who voted for congressman Carter from Georgia? This was embarrassing. His district must be senior citizens. #tiktokhearing
Dear Rep. Richard Hudson, here is another, even bigger scandal! Not only does TikTok indeed use the home wifi network, it even uses the INTERNET itself! LOCK THEM UP!
#tiktok #tiktokhearing #shitshow
"Mr. Chew, does TikTok access the home WiFi network?"
"Hey ChatGPT, give me some non embarrassing questions that doesn't make me look completely incompetent for the TikTok hearing."
It could have been so easy. Yet they opted for total embarrassment.
