Indeed, assuming some randomness in enforcement unrelated to bias, one would have to assume that conservatives were at least four times as likely as liberals to violate Twitter’s neutrally applied to produce even a 5% chance (the standard benchmark) that a 22-data point sample would yield a result as skewed as 21-1.
