Topic | Why do people on the right cry so much about getting censored on the net? |

Forget the exact article actually think it might have been a youtube video, but googling has lots of results and this one is from the verge: https://www.theverge.com/interface/2019/4/11/18305407/social-network-conservative-bias-twitter-facebook-ted-cruz A study today published by Media Matters for America attempts to answer that question. Over 37 weeks, the authors measured engagement likes, comments, and shares across left- and right-leaning pages. What did they find? Right-leaning pages earned on average about 372,000 weekly interactions and left-leaning pages earned on average about 369,000 weekly interactions.Partisan pages also outperformed pages that are not politically aligned, earning a piddling 283,000 weekly interactions. (The study isnt about how hard it is to reach an audience on Facebook these days, though it certainly makes the case: a post from a partisan page reached just 0.17 percent of its followers, and a post from a non-partisan page reached 0.07 percent. Thank you, Facebook Journalism Project!) The results of the study are consistent with the results of a similar exercise undertaken by Media Matters last year. That study, which measured engagement on the same set of pages over the previous six months, found that right-leaning pages had a nearly identical average rate of interactions with left-leaning pages. It also found that the right-leaning pages it studied earned 51 percent more total interactions than left-leaning pages. --- The Official Odin of the Shin Megami Tensei IV board.
