Very interesting study from German researchers who found “that the default feed of X showed more content from far-right AfD than from other political parties”.

ZenodoPolitical Biases on X before the 2025 German Federal ElectionThis study examines whether German X users would see politically balanced news feeds if they followed comparable leading politicians from each federal parliamentary party of Germany. We address this question using an algorithmic audit tool and all publicly available posts published by 436 German politicians on X. We find that the default feed of X showed more content from far-right AfD than from other political parties. We analyze potential factors influencing feed content and the resulting political non-representativeness of X. Our findings suggest that engagement measures and unknown factors related to party affiliation contribute to the overrepresentation of extremes of the German political party spectrum in the default algorithmic feed of X.

The suicidal self-flagellation the west is performing by not unplugging nazi-X is truly amazing.

We had an old friend from Germany staying with us for a week in California. She said rural moms are being hammered on social media by scary stories about immigrants, and many former CDU voters are turning far right. It sounds like a Moscow-led effort.

@SuVergnolle Why on earth has access to X from German ISPs not been cut off already.

They are hacking your democracy in favor of literal nazis.

It is not difficult to see.

@SuVergnolle The fact that the EU hasn't started to fine Twitter for these obvious manipulations is embarrassing
