Search Twitter for the word ‘loser’ – guess who comes up?
- Sunday | 8th November, 2020
(Reuters) – Twitter users searching for the word ‘loser’ on Saturday were greeted with an unusual first result: US President Donald Trump’s account. The search result appeared as major news organizations declared that voters had delivered the presidency to Trump’s opponent, Democrat Joe Biden, after four days of nail-biting suspense following Tuesday’s election. Twitter said the results were automatically generated based on how people on the app were using the terms in their tweets at the time. “If an account is mentioned often alongside certain terms, they can become algorithmically surfaced together as an association. These associations are temporal and ever-changing based on how people tweet,” the company said in a statement.
