Exactly. I keep my old X account and I sometimes look what’s the latest psyop. I strictly just look, never interact, no likes, no replies, no nothing. It is interesting to watch what the algorithm tries to show me without any meaningful feedback apart from scrolling the timeline and lingering on some posts (I even don’t click on videos to play). It’s still looking like shaping the current narratives and the “bubbling” (emphasising one’s bubbles) is very pronounced. We might not get overt bans now, but shadowbanning and timeline shaping is much more sophisticated, and - because mostly covert - more dangerous then during covid. I’m not on Facebook for years and I have never used any other social networks in any meaningful way, but even on Twitter it’s very clear.

I don’t know if they ask for access to these types of things. But I would guess on some devices they’re tracking your eye movement too. So they can definitely tell what you’re looking at and paying attention to. Covid censorship was more intense. It wasn’t meant to last. It was meant to get you to accept this level of censorship. They’ll ramp it back up soon though for Israel. No doubt. It’s not meant to last again though. They’ll give us a consolation prize and we will have to be fine with that for five years until they ramp it up again.
