I encourage you to watch a Joe Rogan episode from last year when he brought Jack Dorsey, a Twitter VP, and Tim Pool. [1]

The reason this episode is relevant to your comment discussion is that Pool presents that there is this paradigm problem where certain policies intended to bring "inclusion" end up excluding something like half of the U.S. population. This paradigm Twitter management is stuck in prevents them from understanding how people outside their paradigm view their actions, and this results in effectively banning a enormous set of the population from popular discourse.

It is hard to evaluate if this is exclusively an American issue because, really, there are so few other countries that speak English.

What does speaking english has to do with this?

Regarding twitter case I feel that it's unfair to classify the issue with a single anecdote. Especially when this anecdote is about notoriously mismanaged, pointless corporation such as twitter.

Evaluating online behavior, which is presented in text, across all languages, is Hard.

It seems clear you didn't watch the video. Pool doesn't present Twitter as a single anecdote, but an example of a larger problem.

Addtionally, it is not clear to me that a platform as large as Twitter can be dismissed as an "anecdote".

The larger problem is people with these positions are not even interested in evaluating other positions, a claim supported by your comment and the down-voters of mine.
