The Twitter Files revealed that one of the most important content distribution platforms on the internet had been corrupted by severe ideological bias. Leaked documents reveal Twitter staff suspending accounts and tinkering with distribution algorithms for purely political reasons. The Right always suspected Twitter wasn’t a fair forum; the Twitter Files proved it.
The Right has long held similar suspicions about YouTube, which has an estimated monthly user base of 2.6 billion compared Twitter’s estimated 368 million monthly users. Critics tend to focus on obvious acts of censorship: Banning videos or shutting down channels for no apparent reason other than they offend liberal sensibilities. Alternative video hosting sites like Rumble have emerged to provide Right-wing and heterodox voices a censorship-free platform, but the audiences for those sites remain a microscopic fraction of YouTube’s.
