The alleged manipulation involved creating an account that exclusively followed a combination of major brands and extremist content, then “endlessly scrolling and refreshing its unrepresentative, hand-selected feed” until it saw a confluence of the two.
So the manipulation was just… be interested in racist content. Of course this shit is filed in Texas, no other state is dumb enough to give this case daylight.
Bold move to admit that what was reported was both true and an intended way for ads to be served on Xitter.
I know, right?! “The user has to follow our brands and our extremist content!!!”

You’re probably more likely to see ads from brands you follow but there’s no way in hell you get less ads if you follow fewer brands.
