Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it.
There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.
If they disappeared when Yandex went offline, this proves once again that Europe is not the source of the problems."
The big problem is that Russia figured out how modern society consumes information a decade ago, but the West hasn't.
โThere are millions of bots commenting and posting Russian propaganda. There are paid influencers spreading it, with Russian bots supporting their content.
There is a gigantic machine operating to radicalize and influence Western societies, and there is not enough defense in place.
It doesn't just influence elections, it sows discord, engulfs societies in culture wars, radicalizes teenagers, and shapes political decisions when elected officials fail to read the room.
โThat needs to change. And fast.
There are russian airplanes over Kramatorsk right now dropping 40 glide bombs every day. Today they killed 33 innocent people. These are huge weapons never designed for civilian areas. Ukraine needs air defense to shoot down those planes & save thousands of innocent lives.

Now, regulators are asking: should ultra-fast automated trading be seen as an engine for efficient markets, or a game stacked against the average investor? https://t.co/i5Xfc7J2co
Given inflation, mortgage rates and gas prices are all higher than when they took office, why does the Trump administration deserve an A+ on the economy, as the president said?
Just one of many brilliant scenes from the epic comedy "Life of Brian" by Monty Python.
Fun fact: The actors playing the soldiers were not told what Pontius Pilate and the centurion were going to say. What they were told, though, was to hold back their laughter as much as they could. So what youโre seeing is pretty much their genuine first-time reaction to the jokes, and the laughter is real. Much of this scene was improvised.
