Leftist or moderate groups barely held any power in the EU. The lack of regulation of social media was the culprit. The algorithm constantly pushes rage bait to keep people mad, Russian psy-ops inflame that and social media companies don't regulate that when asked by democracies. But when dictatorships or autocracies demand they restrict their services they do it immediately.
