This op-ed by @karaswisher is SO ON POINT! Why exactly do people think liberals rule tech and internet--despite all the concrete evidence to the contrary!?https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/04/opinion/iowa-caucuses-app.html …

Are you sure? Social media platforms (especially Twitter and Google) seem to lean clearly to the left (and I am not making a point about whether that's good or bad), as do most major papers, especially the NYT. Kara Swisher complains about the unruly peasantry, not the rulers?

Replying to @Plinz @karaswisher
The rulers of the internet are more *libertarian* than liberal. The laissez-faire system they fight for (inadvertently?) allows for smart folk to (mis)use tech for their benefit. The social media users--who do skew to the SJW end of the spectrum--are perhaps the real peasantry..

Which fraction of social media users is progressive (left of liberal)? 20%?
