I don't know about how Twitter selects "trending topics". But I find it strange that a "Trust & Safety Council" and other tools to help protect people could be considered "left-leaning". I'm pretty allergic to politics, especially politics being injected where it doesn't belong, but I'm just not seeing the connection there.

It's the other way 'round. Someone has a pragmatic stance on something, and the SJWs label it as political, and ban it. They also ban or not ban people because of their politics. It's one thing to ban all politics, another banning just those you oppose (and bonus if it's just an excuse and the real reason is money or connections).

You don't have to look further than Twitter for examples of all of the above.

None of what you just said has anything to do with Twitter having a "Trust & Safety Council", or taking other steps to help users protect themselves.

That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it.

If you want people protected from harassment and bullying, perhaps it follows that you would enlist the help of some of the more valiant SJWs. After all, who should know more about bullying than bullies themselves?
