Have you read Twitter files?!

The boosting was done deliberatly and paid for by government agencies (of which some ex-employees where on Twitter's payroll).

It's quite irrelevant IMO whether the deliberate censorship for a certain US political flavor was done automatically or manually.

have you reread Twitter files after it was debunked and defanged.

it's amazing how bad information fluffed up by the angry news media gets thoroughly routed in people's mind, then gets quietly defanged and drilled to earth to the point it's a completely innocuous gossip chain.

see currently the Biden impeachment and Russian propaganda laundering.

people really want to believe salacious stories that cut against popular perception to the point they just get to keep riding that wave of mental backflips to suit their increasingly deranged phantasm.

it didn't happen either way as it turns out. Definitely go back and check it out!
