The whole notion that social media platforms should be politically neutral is an outgrowth of the claim that they are *technologically* neutral, which is a different concept. — PolitiTweet.org

Part of me wonders how things might’ve turned out if Facebook and Twitter had, early on, abandoned all claims to “We’re just a technology platform” and straight up said “You know what? Yes, our software will probably shape what you see and how you perceive the world." — PolitiTweet.org

@sarahjeong I don’t disagree, but I think that’s a little bit different from what I’m talking about. What you’re pointing to as social media being a force for small-D democratic ideals is distinct from debates over partisan representation on the platforms. — PolitiTweet.org
