Als het al zo moeilijk is om iets te bekijken van 20min. Ok dan.

"My results make it difficult to take claims of political neutrality seriously.
Of 22 prominent, politically active individuals who are known to have been suspended since 2005 and who expressed a preference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, 21 supported Donald Trump."
"Of course, the existence of this disparity does not prove that Twitter is actively discriminating against Trump supporters. Perhaps conservatives are simply more likely to violate neutral rules regarding harassment and hate speech. In such case, the observed data would not serve to impugn Twitter, but rather conservatives themselves.
Luckily, through the use of standard statistical methods—similar to those commonly applied to calculate confidence intervals in the physical and social sciences—one may determine that the underlying population disparity (i.e. the disparity between liberal and conservative behavioral norms) would have to be quite large in order for there to be any significant likelihood of observing a randomly constituted 22-point data set characterized by the above-described 21:1 ratio. Indeed, assuming some randomness in enforcement unrelated to bias,
one would have to assume that conservatives were at least four times as likely as liberals to violate Twitter’s neutrally applied terms of service to produce even a 5% chance (the standard benchmark) that a 22-data point sample would yield a result as skewed as 21-1."
Als Twitter aan fact checking wil doen. Good luck. Mogen ze Chinese autoriteiten gaan fact checken wanneer ze beweren dat het virus uit de VS komt. Wanneer prominente democraten beweren dat Trump een puppit is van Putin. etc... De pandora doos is nu open. En als twitter dit niet correct bij iedereen toepast dan zal het bias-argument nog sterker worden.
