Internet platforms like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are not systematically biased against conservatives or right-wing viewpoints in their content moderation practices, according to an analysis from NYU researchers.
According to the report released Monday, “False Accusation: The Unfounded Claim that Social Media Companies Censor Conservatives,” the allegation that social media companies engage in anti-conservative bias “is itself a form of disinformation: a falsehood with no reliable evidence to support it.”
“No trustworthy large-scale studies have determined that conservative content is being removed for ideological reasons,” the NYU report says. “Even anecdotal evidence of supposed bias tends to crumble under close examination.”
In fact, the report, produced by the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, cited evidence that social media platforms have actually amplified right-leaning voices algorithmically to reach “unprecedented audiences,” often giving conservatives greater reach than liberal or nonpartisan content creators. The report analyzed data from multiple sources, including past reports like a 2020 study from Politico and the Institute for Strategic Dialogue and social-data analytics firms CrowdTangle and NewsWhip.
Former President Donald Trump and a legion of U.S. conservatives have complained loudly that Big Tech somehow treats right-leaning users and content differently than others on the political spectrum.

No evidence of massive fraud and illegality in the election...

Yawn
Precisely.
LOL!
That Babylon Bee....
Just like there was no voter fraud.
[There should be a new award for the media, perhaps to replace the Pulitzer.
I would suggest the “Helen Keller Prize for Journalism.” ]
Variety? I’ve found reading a roll of toilet paper more interesting. This is garbage.
No evidence of Anti-conservative bias??????
That makes as much sense and since no courts allowed testimony on specific vote fraud, there was not vote fraud.
We are in an Orwellian world where words have specially defined meaning depending on who says them. As Bill Clinton parsed words, like debating what is is, and as Hillary Clinton mocked people when asked about her hard drive contents being wiped, like with a cloth?
Yes, we are in a world where words don’t mean what you think they mean the words are used to create spin and illusions.
Big Tech companies have ADMITTED that they censor conservative comments/sites so this NYU report is full of crap. If I recall correctly, NYU also has a very far left, neo-Marxist Brennan Center for ?Law and Human Rights?” or something like that. As far left as you can go except for any Un. of Calif. law school.
The pot calling the kettle black. Leftist, democrat party media lie about everything.
bull shit.
MSM is a liberals paradise.
I can’t stop chuckling at this. These people aren’t that stupid, but they think we are
NYU? They wouldn’t recognize bias (or conservatism) if it walked up and slapped them in the face.
They don’t even know what bathroom to use.
Yep! The Ray Charles Visionary Award.
Right. And there’s no evidence Nazis were biased against Jews or that Commies were biased against Kulaks either.
None at all! Really! Trust us.
With that result, I have no doubt it was conducted by a bunch of liberals.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Studies suck. You can make ‘em say anything you want.
