I am more of center and care about right-leaning issues. At least, I want to be informed. So I follow not only tech leaders but also other right-leaning leaders too.

And when I say tech leaders, they may not be celebrities like Mark or Jack but they are still leaders in their smaller communities. I am talking about developers who built frameworks, people from here, and other communities like Indie Hackers etc.

I won't out anyone but one example is some these leaders were complaining about lack of coverage on CNN of Hamas firing rockets into Israel. Of course, CNN covered it and many people refuted them by posting links/screenshots. But these same leaders have never complained about lack of coverage on Fox/CNN when Muslims or other minorities are victims.

everyone has a favourite injustice in online politics. It's somewhat understandable as there are so many injustices happening around the world that it's impossible to pay attention to all of them. So we pay attention to the ones the media covers - if the coverage is perceived as biased in one direction or the other, the other side will charge in with whatabout-isms. The Israel-Palestine conflict is a classic example of this.
