This is true on almost all social media. There's an inherit USA assumption. People with kick off topics in news, pics, funny, tv, sports etc assuming you're in their context.

It's the most populous English speaking country so it's not that weird an assumption, even if you're not American. There are more English speakers in the United States than in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa combined.
