“though multiple academic studies — including work by researchers at NYU's Center for Social Media and Politics — have found limited evidence that YouTube's algorithm systematically produces this effect”
Why it was flagged
This attributes a specific finding to a specific named institution (NYU's Center for Social Media and Politics) without a citation. This is a precise, checkable claim, and it is not clear which study is being referenced or whether that institution produced this specific finding (well-known related studies include Ribeiro et al. 2019 and Hosseinmardi et al. 2021, which involved varying combinations of NYU, Microsoft Research, and other institutions and found mixed rather than uniformly 'limited evidence' results). The claim should either cite the specific study by name/author or be made more general to avoid an unverifiable/misattributed institutional claim.
Why it is still open
No reason was recorded.
