But there is no denying that there is a shift in narrative in X posts since its acquisition. So there is certainly more going on than just planetary scale. It was planetary scale before acquisition too. Algorithms have the power to nudge the narrative one way or another at planetary scale.

It was completely transparent and unbiased before its acquisition.

It was a little right wing biased. Now the bias moved a lot to the right.

I can't quite tell if this is sarcasm :). I'll assume it is.

Yes, the natural order (that was mass censored for 10+ years) got uncensored. Look at who won the presidency.

No way of telling one way or another, no? Unless you actually work at X and know exactly how it works.

Note - My original comment was not about whether now is worse than before or vice versa. It is just that narratives shifted in a different way, that had nothing to do with scale. Algorithms are just as likely as uncensored (or censored - how does one know?)
