AOC Acknowledges Big Tech Algorithms as a Form of Election Meddling
“`html
In a stunning admission, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shed light on the power wielded by Big Tech—notably how altering algorithms could influence political landscapes, tantamount to “election interference”.
Commentator Tucker Carlson brought to the fore details from a highly confidential briefing in which justice officials and Ocasio-Cortez participated, hinting at the undercurrents of technological influence.
“Today’s briefing unveiled how the influence of Big Tech extends to changing algorithms to sway election results,” Carlson revealed, with AOC suggesting that recent algorithmic changes were a play of political power.
Elon Musk, the visionary at the helm of Twitter, promptly countered, championing transparency and neutrality in algorithmic changes, a contrast to a past shrouded in selectivity and bias.
Ocasio-Cortez’s critique may roam off-target. While she points a finger at Musk, previous gatekeepers were indeed guilty of throttling essential voices and narratives—betraying true ‘election interference’.
Behind the Veil: The ‘Twitter Files’ Expose
The day Musk took the reins, a surge of internal emails and data came to light, exposing Twitter’s secretive liaisons with federal agencies. The infamous suspension of pivotal accounts revealed a deeper agenda, where the lines between discourse and distortion blurred.
An exposé unearthed how governmental tendrils extended to media manipulation. Entities like the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) colluded with academics to police online speech, marking an era where satire, truth, and opinion all fell prey to censorship.
Wielding the narrative, these operations weren’t shy about flagging even innocuous content, including a tweet from Mollie Hemingway that merely recounted media aversion to acknowledging electoral developments – a stark reflection of unchecked power.
Moreover, Sean Davis found himself in the crosshairs, his content unfairly branded as ‘misinformation’ simply for invoking a discussion on the integrity of elections.
The events following Musk’s acquisition of Twitter peeled back layers of obscured truth, revealing a dialectic battleground where Big Tech held the reins. The narrative is clear: transparency is not just expected—it’s demanded in safeguarding the sanctity of our digital forums.

Sean Davis of The Federalist raised alarm bells, suggesting that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court provided an opportune mechanism for potential electoral manipulation in favor of Biden, by allowing the counting of undated ballots.
In a fiery critique, Davis decried Big Tech’s censorship as a clear indicator of an attempted heist of democratic processes.
Algorithmic Control and Narrative Shaping
Throttling Reach, Molding Perception
Big Tech’s pervasive influence extends to Facebook’s contentious response to the Hunter Biden laptop saga. The platform’s policy communications director took to Twitter with a measure intended to curtail the story’s reach, thereby shaping public perception.
Facebook later confessed to algorithmic manipulation aimed at suppressing what it deems as ‘hate speech’ and ‘misinformation,’ lumping credible stories with the false, according to Zuckerberg’s own admission.
A Call for Transparency: Voices across the digital landscape are pressing for an overhaul of the opaque practice of algorithmic curation to ensure user exposure to a full spectrum of viewpoints.
Tech’s Overarching Censorship
From Algorithms to Economic Pressures
But it’s not just social media feeds that are under scrutiny. There’s a trend of economic censorship targeting independent media through methods like Google’s demonetization, which puts alternative voices at the mercy of ad revenue policies.
With traditional media sometimes playing the assist, the scales of digital discourse tilt alarmingly. NBC News’ attempt to nix The Federalist’s revenue stream underscores the peril awaiting media that don’t toe the line.
This suppression isn’t relegated to direct action; it permeates through ostensibly neutral entities. Take “NewsGuard,” a watchdog bathed in taxpayer funds that metes out reliability scores with a stark bias, as identified by the MRC.
While mainstream outlets, marred by the spread of the ‘Russian disinformation’ narrative, receive flawless grades, contrarian platforms are slapped with woeful marks and suffer ad revenue hits that threaten their very existence.
The Bottom Line: Censorship in the social media era cuts deeper than just silenced voices; it wields the potential to transform media into monoliths of monochrome thought, chaining the very essence of a free press.
