The alleged manipulation involved creating an account that exclusively followed a combination of major brands and extremist content, then “endlessly scrolling and refreshing its unrepresentative, hand-selected feed” until it saw a confluence of the two.

Bold move to admit that what was reported was both true and an intended way for ads to be served on Xitter.
