Caught Scrolling: CA Dem Brad Sherman Blames X Algorithms for Mid-Flight 'Adult Explicit Material' Peek

Brad Sherman is a Democrat Congressman from California. The other day he was on a plane and was caught with some 'ahem', questionable reading material.

Yikes!

So then, Sherman decided to do an interview about his 'indiscretion' to run cover.

That's not how the 'For You' tab works, Sherman. If you're getting that kind of material, you looked for or at that kind of material. 

What kinds of posts, though?

Since when is Elon the arbiter of morals for politicians? What a odd thing to say?

Right. It is all about the algorithms. That's very true. It feeds you more of what you view. It determines what you want to see from what you've looked at previously and finds more of it. That way, you stay on the app longer. That's the whole point. He's really just outing himself. 

He really should have stopped while he was ahead. This is getting worse and worse. 

Many, many people fly cross country every single day and manage to not look at explicit materials. I would venture to say most people accomplish that feat. 

That's why I stopped interacting with Leftists on Twitter. Once you talk to one of them, all you get from then on is wacky progressive nutters and their bizarre tweets. No thanks. 

Yes. In the second picture, he is on the profile of the 'performer' and it's not the 'For You' page. He intentionally clicked on it. She should get a privacy screen for his Ipad if he is going to partake in those pages in public. California is not sending its best.
