To U.S. Americans, anything to the left of fascism is “Left Leaning”.
Twitter had the appearance of being Left Leaning to the ignorant masses mainly because it was funded by Venture Capital.
When it matured and had to provide ROI, it became much more Right-Wing overnight. The oppression of 3rd Party Apps was the beginning of the end (even though Twitter wouldn’t have been what it was without Twitteriffic).
