The answer seems very immature to me. Just because we have a president which folks hate doesn't mean companies should just go and represent left idelogies. These platforms were built once by folks who believed in freedom of speech and opinions. We are clearly leaving *63M+ people in USA when we make content moderation choices which are left-friendly. I'm not into talking politics. I wish these platforms allow freedom of speech which was one of the founding principles in early days of Internet.

> These platforms were built once by folks who believed in freedom of speech and opinions. Let's not be silly here, these platforms were clearly built by folks seeking to generate profit, otherwise they would all be non profits. Any ideologies expressed by their founders or corporate marketing are only a byproduct of what is "in" culturally, because that is what makes more money. > We are clearly leaving *63M+ people in USA when we make content moderation choices which are left-friendly Only in America are these choices seen as "left-friendly." In the rest of the Western world, they are seen as "reasonable." I actually do agree that Twitter moderation has a problem with conservative thinking. I think that they should drop the pretense that they exist to cater everyone and be more clear in their rules as to what type of speech will get you kicked out of the circle. We all know Twitter is an echo chamber; the least it could do is make you aware of it instead of leading you on into thinking all of your ideas will be accepted by the system.
