    It's just forcing US culture on everyone in the world. Also see Meta deleting IG posts and banning people based on US politics / morals.

      Americans have changed/reversed a lot of political definitions including conservative/liberal.

        How has conservative changed?

          Many so called "conservatives" are economically liberal, whereas the so called "liberals" are pushing statism and social democrat ideas, which are not liberal. American definitions are arse backwards. American liberals were socially liberal at one point, but even that has begun to change.
