"Right Leaning" for Germany are far left anywhere else.
Remember, this is the same country that considers the auth-centrist Nazis "extreme right" and lives in fear of their possible return.
"right-leaning" in Germany is everyone who's not actively waving an Antifa-flag.

tl;dr:
Germany now wants direct access to user data of social media sites to "fight against the right". Twitter off all people is suing against this. They're worried their customers will go elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Telegram completely ghosts the German government and ignores all their demands.
Makes you wonder, is the exodus of users starting to worry the big social media corps?
What I remember being the worst about MySpace was when they started allowing automatic music/noise to blare at you when visiting a page. Before that crap started, it was OK.
MySpace pages started to look like geocities websites.
No one tells Twitter who it can and can't control/ban/share info on! THAT'S THEIR JOB!
