But the Left bias in Social media is extremely concerning, its so apparent from the type of people who work in tech, especially in Silicon valley, that they have a Leftist bias, whether the Left or the Right are correct doesn’t matter.
The issue is Social media in our time is it’s where a lot of people form opinions, follow news coverage, and basically inform themselves about the world.
Instead of it just being a impartial medium, it actively controls and narrates the conversation.
before Social media (IMO) no conversational medium strived to control and influence the conversation itself.
the coffee shop didn’t really pay attention to what you said(with exceptions of course) they just cared that you ordered something.
In a family gathering the medium itself doesn’t influence the conversation, your family members do.
And when People go to complain about this, Left-leaning tech workers will just say “don’t be mean”, or don’t break the rules, I doubt their reaction would be the same if Social media was more right leaning, heck Left-leaning journalists are already trying to dismiss the story as nothing important, while it’s the first known proof of political leaning affecting moderation by going beyond the rules.
the Hunter Biden laptop story should’ve been much bigger, and downplaying the affect social media censorship had on it, is just lying.
Its a problem and I don’t know the solution either, is it creating a new type of classification that forces Social networks to act as an impartial communication medium? Is it creating a public social media for each country?, almost nobody knows, but acknowledging the problem is a first step.
(Please don’t go into a flame war about American politics, this is a conversations about Social media political leanings, not American politics)
