a broader q is how does twitter manipulating the information landscape of their platform differ from every other information campaign waged by every other political actor? what meaningfully differentiates it from political advertising or lobbying? are those election interference?

twitter is not a govt institution nor a part of the electoral process

you can argue its a "public forum" but it's a private company and the rules for those haven't changed last time I checked

mb a nationalized public forum should exist but it ain't this and hence is irrelevant

the real question is not whether there was "shadowbanning" but whether such a thing would constitute election interference, the obvious answer to which is lmfao ofc not

generally speaking, turning up the temperature is a good strategy for exploring complex optimization landscapes with poor global visibility, as it allows you to escape local maxima by catalyzing chasm-crossing twitter.com/tszzl/status/14980

generally speaking I deeply resent how this sort of contortion has become so commonplace that you get weird looks if you don't praise the emperor's new clothes

allowlist is objectionable not only on antiwoke grounds but more importantly on aesthetic ones; whitelist rolls off the tongue much smoother than that awkward linguistic astroturf
