Over on the bad site, Twitter has lifted restrictions on Kremlin accounts and is no longer limiting the reach of Kremlin media accounts.

Russian government tweets are appearing in Twitter’s algorithmically-driven “For You” feed for newly created accounts, even when they did not follow them. So Twitter is not just *showing* these Kremlin accounts — it's algorithmically *boosting* them.

This comes just after Twitter made part of its source code public, revealing that it has apparently been suppressing Ukrainian content.

So Twitter is boosting Kremlin content while suppressing pro-Ukraine content. #russia #ukraine #socialmedia #propaganda

Anyone still providing content to that foul site is helping to prop up that Nazi's platform in my opinion.
