Some conservatives have had their reach and accessibility limited on Twitter, whereas their liberal Democrat counterparts have not been impacted on the platform, a Vice News investigation has revealed.
Type the names of certain conservative figures in the search bar, such as Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), for example, and the profile doesn’t automatically appear in the drop down results like most public figures do.
“The notion that social media companies would suppress certain political points of view should concern every American,” Republican Party chair Ronna McDaniel told VICE News. “Twitter owes the public answers to what’s really going on.”
Vice News, in order to test this problem for potential political bias, searched the names of numerous Democrats — Democratic Party chair Tom Perez, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), the entire 78-member Progressive caucus — and none of them appeared to be limited like the Republicans Vice tested.
In addition to Jordan and McDaniel, the “shadow ban” applied to Reps. Mark Meadows, Matt Gaetz, Devin Nunes, and Donald Trump Jr. spokesman Andrew Surabian.
Twitter pointed to its efforts to eliminate harmful content from its site, which particularly target racist and extreme right-wing figures who participate in “troll-like behaviors.”
“We are aware that some accounts are not automatically populating in our search box and shippng a change to address this,” a Twitter spokesman told Vice News. “I’d emphasize that our technology is based on account behavior, not the content of tweets.”
The relationship between conservatives and social media has been fraught with accusations of bias recently. Conservatives in Congress have repeatedly demanded transparency from Facebook and Twitter about how the sites filter news and user accounts, but the processes are still somewhat unclear.
“This type of opaque behavior by social media companies is exactly why conservatives are speaking out and demanding more transparency and accountability,” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told Vice.

He’s the guy who lost in the primary to Ocasio-Cortez, the socialist.

Rep. Joe Crowley suggested his belief that the families who have been separated at the border for illegally entering the country should be compensated for the pain they experienced while speaking on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
“The damage that has been done to these children will be lifelong, to the families units as well and in fact, I suggest they need to be compensated for what this administration did to them,” Crowley stated.

Busted.
Via Vice:
Twitter is limiting the visibility of prominent Republicans in search results — a technique known as “shadow banning” — in what it says is a side effect of its attempts to improve the quality of discourse on the platform.
The Republican Party chair Ronna McDaniel, several conservative Republican congressmen, and Donald Trump Jr.’s spokesman no longer appear in the auto-populated drop-down search box on Twitter, VICE News has learned. It’s a shift that diminishes their reach on the platform — and it’s the same one being deployed against prominent racists to limit their visibility. The profiles continue to appear when conducting a full search, but not in the more convenient and visible drop-down bar. (The accounts appear to also populate if you already follow the person.)

Immigration and Customs Enforcement had one of its busiest weeks ever in the midst of calls for the agency’s elimination by some Democrats, Yahoo News reported.
As part of an increased effort to crack down on employers that hire illegal immigrants, ICE served audit notices to nearly 3,000 business owners between July 16 and 20, letting them know that ICE would examine their records to make sure they are complying with hiring laws.
“Employers need to understand that the integrity of their employment records is just as important to the federal government as the integrity of their tax files and banking records,” said acting ICE executive associate director Derek Benner in a statement.
ICE’s ramped-up efforts during the most recent fiscal year have outpaced fiscal 2017 significantly. Since October 2017, ICE’s 984 workplace arrests amount to more than five times the number of arrests in the previous fiscal year.
ICE has opened more than 6,000 investigations into businesses suspected of employing illegal immigrants in fiscal 2018, compared to just over 1,799 last fiscal year.
The July 16-20 employer checks resulted in 32 arrests, and was the second part of of an operation that produced 61 arrests between Jan. 29 and March 30.
As families separated at the southern border get reunited, and the furor over the Trump administration’s zero-tolerance policy begins to subside, some Democrats are pulling away from the movement to eliminate ICE.
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that Democrats who jumped on the abolish ICE bandwagon “didn’t really think it through and talk about it in a way that made good sense to people.”
Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas), who is challenging Sen. Ted Cruz this November, dismissed the call to abolish ICE as a “slogan or bumper sticker” that “does nothing to resolve any issues.”
“It is the practices, it is the way in which we are treating our fellow human beings that needs to be changed, and that won’t come with a slogan or a bumper sticker or the abolition of one department,” O’Rourke said on the Powerhouse Politics podcast.
