PGC – Twitter creates an algorithm designed to produce better clicks on images for its user. Turns out, the tool likes the pale and the thin, and the youthful (let’s assume we’re all talking adults here to avoid that whole entanglement, at least for now).
That’s right, the bastion of ultra-moral-supremacist Corpo-Woketarianizm, Jack Dorsey’s Twitter, can’t help but create an app that favors the very constructs Twitter appears to oppose, whiteness and female sexuality.
Twitter also opposes fitness, slimness in general, due to the existence of both as being deemed a form of patriarchal-enforcing fat shaming. Yet, while Twitter acts as if it represents the morally certain view of the human species itself as a world citizen, its algorithms continue to reflect signficantly different moral constructs being manifest by a significant, potentially majority, proportion of its users, so much so they have to attemtp to apply filters to assure the moral diversity of its customers is not emergently, organically seen.
Twitter algorithm prefers slimmer, younger, light-skinned faces

Excerpt:
A Twitter image-cropping algorithm prefers to show faces that are slimmer, younger and with lighter skin, a researcher has found.
Bogdan Kulynyc won $3,500 (£2,530) in a Twitter-organised contest to find biases in its cropping algorithm.
Earlier this year, Twitter’s own research found the algorithm had a bias towards to cropping out black faces.
As a result the company revised how images were handled, saying cropping was best done by people.
