Studies suggest X’s feed nudges users rightward politically

New peer-reviewed field experiments report that X’s algorithmic “For You” feed systematically steers users toward more right-leaning content and measurably shifts their political views to the right. One study suggests these opinion changes can be lasting, and that simply turning off the recommendation algorithm does not fully reverse them. The findings fuel debate over X’s claims of political neutrality and raise broader questions about algorithmic influence on democratic discourse and voter attitudes.
