In unsurprising news, it turns out social media platforms lean conservative

The congressional investigation of the January 6 insurrection is now over, and Republicans are obviously uninterested in continuing it. But the Washington Post reports that committee staffers collected loads of evidence about social media that never made it into the final report and is now hidden from public view:

The evidence they collected was written up in a 122-page memo that was circulated among the committee.... Congressional investigators found evidence that tech platforms — especially Twitter — failed to heed their own employees’ warnings about violent rhetoric on their platforms and bent their rules to avoid penalizing conservatives, particularly then-president Trump, out of fear of reprisals.

....“The sum of this is that alt-tech, fringe, and mainstream platforms were exploited in tandem by right-wing activists to bring American democracy to the brink of ruin,” the staffers wrote in their memo. “These platforms enabled the mobilization of extremists on smaller sites and whipped up conservative grievance on larger, more mainstream ones.”

This matches pretty much all the public evidence we have about conservative dominance of social media, including Twitter. And there's this:

Some of what investigators uncovered in their interviews with employees of the platforms contradicts Republican claims that tech companies displayed a liberal bias in their moderation decisions....Twitter employees, they testified, could not even view the former president’s tweets in one of their key content moderation tools. “ … Twitter was terrified of the backlash they would get if they followed their own rules and applied them to Donald Trump,” said one former employee, who testified to the committee under the pseudonym J. Johnson.

I assume this was leaked to the Post by a staffer who would like to see their 122-page memo released to the public. That's obviously not going to happen as long as Republicans control the House, but it doesn't mean that it can't be leaked by someone who has a copy.

Maybe they'll leak it to me! I could become famous.
