Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) condemned Elon Musk’s $44 billion bid for Twitter on Tuesday night, citing the obscure cause of “algorithmic justice” as the basis for his objection.
Markey outlined his argument on – ironically enough – Twitter itself.

algorithmic justice (ie. free speech) was why Musk bought Twitter in the first place.

Would someone with more knowledge on this than I please explain very simply this whole Twitter algorithm thing? Thank you.

Trump has already said he’s not going back to Twitter because Elon Musk is buying Twitter.
If liberals and people like Markey somehow managed to block the sale of Twitter, I would like to see the following.
Elon Musk and others like him should delete their Twitter accounts and join Truth Social or Gettr or both and lead a fight to bankrupt Twitter.

I didn’t know Ed Markey was still alive until now.

Would someone with more knowledge on this than I please explain very simply this whole Twitter algorithm thing? Here's a summary: Their system software was coded to identify selected words and phrases. When such words and phrases were found, the system issued some form of alert and one of the Twitter moderators would decide whether or not the account should be warned, suspended, banned, and so forth.

That’s the next catchphrase for the 2022 elections - algorithmic justice, ie ballot manipulation.
To: Avalon Memories
Many thanks & I actually get it now! I am assuming the algorithm leaned towards policing conservative tweets? Your explanation was great.

I actually signed-up for twitter after they agreed to the Elon sale. I then posted that the 2020 election was clearly stolen. Suddenly, I got a series of test to prove I was not a bot. 15 sets of pictures where you pick out the ones with wrong shadows. I answered the questions correctly several times, but each time it says there was a system error and I had to do it again. Never could get past it, I guess that is how they shadow ban.

Avalon Memories explained it pretty well and here's a visual.
Twitter's algorithm(computer code) saw the word Ivermectin or phrasse about Wuhan lab and automatically flagged my tweet with a warning and also set it so it couldn't be replied to, shared etc
Oddly enough, not flagged for Joe Biden is a Pedo. I guess the algorithm does not disagree.

All natural election control by the algorithmic method. Even the Pope approves.
