Blindspotter

This article mentions Blindspotter, which is a great way to explore the bubbles around Twitter accounts (https://ground.news/blindspotter/twitter) and also Subreddits (https://ground.news/blindspotter/reddit/). For example, try: John Oliver - https://ground.news/blindspotter/twitter/iamjohnoliver Tucker Carlson - https://ground.news/blindspotter/twitter/TuckerCarlson r/politics - https://ground.news/blindspotter/reddit/politics r/moderatepolitics - https://ground.news/blindspotter/reddit/moderatepolitics r/conservative - https://ground.news/blindspotter/reddit/conservative BTW Blindspotter is built by Ground News (https://ground.news/). They're like All Sides (https://www.allsides.com/) in that they provide displays that let you see articles from across the spectrum on a given story. But they also measure how much of a blindspot there is for the left or right based on how heavy or sparse the coverage of a story is from news sources of various biases, since much of the time we're not dealing with biased articles as much as selective coverage.

><i>Censorship means state power is deployed to silence speech, and that is not (at least in the USA) happening much.</i> >cen·sor (sĕn′sər) >1. A person authorized to examine books, films, or other material and *to remove or suppress what is considered morally, politically, or otherwise objectionable.* Being authorized by twitter to do it on twitter is still censorship. A simple non-political example: censor bars on nudity in media, literally labelled 'censored': https://duckduckgo.com/?q=censored&iax=images&ia=images The mental gymnastics to excuse censorship by private entities when it's done to the "correct" targets or for the "correct" reasons is infuriating. Censorship is censorship. It doesn't matter who is doing it.
