Scientists say X’s algorithm doesn’t just show you conservative content — it rewires who you follow so the shift becomes permanent

A landmark Nature study of nearly 5,000 X users found that the platform's algorithmic feed measurably shifts political opinions rightward — and switching back to the chronological feed doesn't reverse ...
