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.
There 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.
That needs to change. And fast.
A fossa peers through the undergrowth in Madagascar. Catlike in appearance but more closely related to mongooses, this agile hunter is the island’s largest native predator.

Last year, I published a picture book about the Thylacine named "Benjamin" in my country, illustrated with watercolcrs. I hope it can be published in other countries in the future.
Make sure you're getting your 5 a day, like Elliot, our binturong!
Throughout the week our binturongs enjoy a colourful diet, packed full of fruit & veg, including peppers, carrots, sweet potato, kiwi, melon, berries, nectarine.
They're also given eggs, chickens & quail!
Guess going to lay off tacobell for a while after getting really bad stomach cramps. Eating out anymore is a food poisoning gamble and eating in is expensive.
Seriously, how many times do I have to block this on YouTube. You would think blocking the ad would stop but 4 times!? I dont care avout Isreal buy apparently you can't block the ads.
Two tiny fossas, one adorable sneak peak. These little ones will be making their public debut in just a few weeks, but until then, we thought you deserved a glimpse of all the cuteness behind the scenes.
