Social Media Sanctions Hit Conservatives More, But Due to Content Sharing, Study Says​

A study published in Nature has found that conservative social media users were more likely to face sanctions, but attributes this to their higher propensity to share low-quality news rather than political bias. Researchers analyzed 9,000 Twitter users during the 2020 U.S. election, finding pro-Trump users were 4.4 times more likely to be suspended than pro-Biden users.

However, they also shared significantly more links from sites rated as untrustworthy by both politically balanced groups and Republican-only panels. Similar patterns were observed across multiple datasets spanning 16 countries from 2016 to 2023. The study concludes that asymmetric enforcement can result from neutral policies when behavior differs between groups.

Pre-social media, these were the same people sending forward emails about Obama having the mark of the beast and forward along to 20 friends to save America.

So in other words, conservatives are low-information individuals with a persecution complex

Shocking stuff.
