This recent study suggests that people identifying with different political groups may be subject to different levels of enforcement by social media regarding misinformation sharing.
The research finds that conservative users are predominantly sanctioned due to their alignments with 'low quality' news sites, raising questions about the study's impartiality and methodology.
