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.
