We all know that Twitter is a cesspool of spambots, far right users, incels and outright Nazis. We know this has much to do with who gets promoted by the algorithms they use. One of these algorithms is the feed algorithm. If you don’t know, most social media don’t show you just the posts from people you follow, in the order they are posted. Instead they fill your feed with suggestions – and they post the posts completely out of order. This is nominally done to create engagement, but in Twitter’s case, it is also used to push specific transphobic, misogynist, racist viewpoints. In Twitter you can choose between algorithmic suggestions and getting a chronological timeline of the posts by the accounts you follow. If you choose a chronological feed, it will revert ba ck to the algorithmic feed after a while (or at least it did so when I was active on Twitter). An interesting study in Nature by Germain Gauthier, Roland Hodler, Philine Widmer & Ekaterina Zhuravskaya, shows the danger of Twitters algorithmic feed The political effects of X’s feed algorithm Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm

Twitter is taking another stab at social shopping. The move comes seven years after the social media powerhouse unveiled its first commerce initiative. The feature, which let users buy goods from shoppable tweets, didn’t get far. Less than three years later, it confirmed it was doing away with the buttons. In the meantime—largely since the pandemic turbocharged the e-commerce market—a swath of rivals has taken up similar endeavors. In May last year, Facebook announced it was launching a new Shop feature on both its namesake app and Instagram, its photo-centric subsidiary. This May, Snapchat expanded its in-app stores—for a year, available only to a limited selection of brands—to everyone. The same month, Bloomberg reported TikTok was testing in-app sales in Europe. Now, it appears Twitter wants back in. On Wednesday, it unveiled the “Shop Module.” The feature, it said, will sit in a dedicated space at the top of a business’ profile and offer a scrollable carousel of products, each of which can be bought in an in-app browser. “Social commerce solves the agility challenges brands have experienced within other e-commerce platforms,” Eric Dahan, CEO of influencer marketing agency Open Influence, said. “Moving forward, we don’t expect this evolution of
