   Trump supporters aren't imagining it—they really do get their posts taken down and accounts suspended more on social media than liberals, a new analysis published in Nature finds.

   But! That doesn't mean content moderation is biased. It turns out the discrepancy is better explained by the fact that they share way more low-quality information. That's true even when "low-quality" is defined by Republicans. My latest on the findings: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/03/nature-study-social-media-liberal-bias-censorship/
