I did, and it's just longer out of context videos that cut off at convenient points:
> Journalist: "Would you say the algorithms block liberal or conservative users?"
> Engineer: "I would say the majority of it are for Republicans, because they are all from Russia and wanted Trump to win"
> Journalist: "So you would mostly just get rid of Conservatives?"
> Engineer: "Yes"
> Immediate cut.
Woah, what a compelling argument. The guy is saying they are using machine learning to block Russian bots masquerading as American conservatives that are influencing the narrative in favor of Trump (that totally don't exist btw because we love Russia now and they would never attempt to meddle in any other countries elections). The video attempts to twist that into him saying they block conservatives.
