    No shit. Social media is spreading ruzzian propaganda like the plague.

    And the people in power don’t seem to give a shit.

        Yeah, here in Germany, most politicians don’t really like to engage with digital topics at all and flat out refuse to use the internet. Which explains why my country has the worst internet in Western Europe by far.

          What could there even be on the internet? They have much better things to do. Do y’all have exclusive clubs over there for rich white men to schmooze, and sit around in leather chairs smoking cigars?
