Democratic Rep. Brad Sherman has sparked controversy after a fellow passenger took photos of him looking at racy images on his iPad during a flight. The images went viral, leading to accusations of viewing explicit content. However, Sherman's team has shifted the blame to Elon Musk and his X algorithm, claiming it flooded Sherman's feed with unwanted content. According to sources, Sherman was scrolling through Twitter on his 'For You' feed when the images appeared. The 71-year-old lawmaker denied looking at explicit content, stating that he simply scrolled through over 1,000 posts, including images of women in scant clothing. Sherman acknowledged that the content may not be suitable for public viewing but defended himself by pointing to the nature of the content and the algorithm-driven feed. The incident has raised questions about the responsibility of users and social media platforms in managing content. While Sherman's team places the blame on Musk and X, critics argue that users should be more mindful of the content they consume. The incident serves as a reminder of the blurred lines between personal and public spaces, especially in the digital age.
