Is there any specific reason why social media giants like and are so left-leaning? Aren't they supposed to be neutral and give its users the fair share of FOE?

@SirJadeja Not at all. Those are companies that make money. They have, first and foremost, a responsibility to make more money for stockholders.

A company doesn't work for it's customers. It provides goods and services for those customers.

Figure out who a company's real customers are, and you'll figure out why they do the things they do.

@Surasanji agree. Their bias has completely exposed where their loyalties and allegiance lie. A business that doesn't value its customers equally is going to be doomed sooner or later. Lets see how long they survive.

@SirJadeja We're not customers of Twitter and Facebook. We're products of Twitter and Facebook. I don't know about you, but I've never paid them a dime for their services....

So, whoever is giving them the money is the customer. We're part of the product.

@Surasanji The way they sell off our data for personal gains, no doubt we are nothing but a product.

@SirJadeja We gave them that data, willingly. We may be a product, but we can't blame a company for finding a niche and profiting from it.

That is capitalism at work.

However, what is important is to protect people from abuse. That's where things like Net neutrality become important.

@SirJadeja Probably because the left is more active on the internet than the right. They play to their user base.

For the same reason more people in the financial sector are right leaning, it attracts different types
