    How do the algorithms of Facebook and Instagram affect what you see in your news feed? To find out, Guardian Australia unleashed them on a completely blank smartphone linked to a new, unused email address.

    Three months later, without any input, they were riddled with sexist and misogynistic content.

    X has twitched theirs when viewing "What is Happening" section to a
    lot more political posts, with a heavier R dose of them.

    Before, there were female related pics, which came from others posting
    them on their account.

    In earlier X days, there was hard core porn there, but apparently, X
    removed them from the "What is Happening" section, or removed them
    from X.

    I'm not current with US state laws on porn, but years ago, I know one
    southern state would not allow it to be seen by satellite viewers in
    their state.

    X is a shitty, failed website run by a recidivist shitposter with a
    serious case of narcissistic personality disorder and some questionable opinions on things that matter.

    X is currently worth only half of what was paid for it two short years
    ago. Nice work, ShitPost.

    Interesting, anti Kamala Harris vids have popped up overnight, so I
    must assume Trump's group had them ready for their broadcasters.

    For the sake of our sanity, what was the report
    comments?

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2v-1emgJ674

    Like in the Link above, he actually provides a link to studies
    conducted. It is like that movie "THX1337"
    or "Fractured". Everybody is claim but something is
    wrong...............

    "Your dying"
    "Nope your okay"
    "Your not going to make it"
    "Nope your going to"
    "be aware"
    "Relax"

    You could be dying or being held against your will without knowing and
    because people go up against your high
    standards. Like turning a lion into a snake on it's belly, when in
    reality it is a lion, and no matter how many times
    the lion does it's best, it is often pushed into the mentality of
    being a snake.

    Cherry picking of course.

    So I check out the guardian article a bit? So what? An account with
    photography of somebody in
    swim-suits? Why is that a big deal? What is it suppose to be, fat,
    pugly, rugged, witches?

    Like the one time Brock Sampson met his opposite-sex equal, from
    "Venture Brothers", or Mortisha
    Adams in that movie, where she ripped her face off ( like Jane Jetson
    ) AKA "Witch".

    I am telling the source of School Shooters is this vajayjay equality
    bs, pushed on youths. First as a
    benefit to the single mothers. For those like-minded usually will not
    fit in well. Being a man is part of
    being "that way" people.

    If all of these school shooters, had clean tight p _ s s y at some
    point, non of them would have turned
    out the way they did. All the loners, all the people who will get
    angry at you. Like the good days when a
    wealthy man would hold his son up via gun-point, and be like "You
    f u c k this girl ( high class hooker, or
    some girl from another town over, who is clean and does not look like alien-downstairs ) or you face the
    shot-gun". That is how things was before color television.

    But because the Central-Banker had a plan to distort the Christian.
    First using racism, then using feminism, and
    finally using the LGBT in an attempt to confuse us. Now we are stray
    dog people. No parents without there
    parents scattered across the world. Being told we are less then human,
    or to die. They make w-hores of our
    daughters and murders out of our sons.

    ......

    They made an account of pretty girls in swimsuits and got back
    bro-dude jokes. Most of them are okay, but honestly
    not for everybody.

    Harris is garbage............

    Facebook renaming itself "Meta" ( which means "not
    important person" ), is obviously stating it's users are not
    important.

    Twitter at this point are book worms, Lesbians, and Resume. It is a "Safe-Space" but the new owner wants to make it
    another Youtube ( which is a step in the correct direction ).
