You can bet that in many countries the conservative right is more the left that the Democrats.
Inter-cultural policy differences aren't new and being able to moderate on an international online forum like Twitter is pretty challenging.

- rayiner 4y agoWe’re not talking about “democrats.” We are talking about college educated California democrats. On cultural issues—which dominate when it comes to moderation decisions—the Overton window of a typical Twitter employee is well to the left of people in most European countries, and far to the left of those in Asia or Africa or the Middle East. For example, center left Emmanuel Macron or solidly left Mette Frederiksen wouldn’t be able to express their views on immigration at a Twitter staff meeting: https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20221102-mette-frederiksen-the-face-of-the-anti-immigration-left-in-denmark https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20221102-mette-frederi... Contrast the recent post about Stanford’s language policing guide, with Macron calling such guidance “woke nonsense.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/emmanuel-macron-woke-eu-language-rules-b1971906.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/emmanuel-mac...
