Twitter made an algorithm to block white supremacist posts but never deployed it because during testing it kept tagging Republican elected officials.

I just signed up for a podcast patreon and I'm going through their backlog, I'm 17 minutes into an ep from January 2019 and they've talked about the government shutdown, the Covington Catholic kids, and the guy who mailed pipe bombs to all those Democrats. Was I even alive back then?
