A few weeks of X’s algorithm can make you more right-wing – and it doesn’t wear off quickly

The good news is, no it can't. If you read the paper, all it says is that nazi people tend to follow nazis. 🤷🏿‍♂️

And that if you log into a nazi's Twitter account, and switch their account from algorithmic back to chronological, that they don't unfollow the nazis that they have been following.

Normal people don't follow nazis on Twitter.
