I don&#x27;t follow or give attention to American politics, I don&#x27;t live in America, and probably never will.<p>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.<p>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.<p>Instead of it just being a impartial medium, it actively controls and narrates the conversation.<p>before Social media (IMO) no conversational medium strived to control and influence the conversation itself.<p>the coffee shop didn’t really pay attention to what you said(with exceptions of course) they just cared that you ordered something.<p>In a family gathering the medium itself doesn’t influence the conversation, your family members do.<p>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.<p>the Hunter Biden laptop story should’ve been much bigger, and downplaying the affect social media censorship had on it, is just lying.<p>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.<p>(Please don’t go into a flame war about American politics, this is a conversations about Social media political leanings, not American politics)
