Amid complaints that social media is discriminating against conservative voices, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey admitted this week that his company is “left-leaning.” 

But that doesn’t mean it has acts on its bias or enforces bans based on on politics—as Donald Trump has suggested—Dorsey told CNN in an interview which aired Saturday. The platform, which was recently criticized for being slow to ban conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, is frequently accused of covertly silencing accounts, a process commonly known as “shadow banning.”
