Russia was definitely watching the results of the EU election.

French President Emmanuel Macron’s shock decision to call a parliamentary election following his party’s crushing defeat in the EU polls, as well as the success of the far right in countries across the Continent, made headline news.

With Macron recently spearheading an initiative to deploy Western forces to Ukraine, it is perhaps unsurprising that the tone was gleeful.

    Simple mechanisms for flagging/reviewing misinformation would be helpful but we’ve gone in the completely opposite direction with Musk’s shittified twitter and every platform being scared to provide a dislike count so sll the scummiest shit just floats to the top with zero indication of controversy

      If anything, I think Musk’s takeover of twitter has thankfully removed a lot of the power that the platform had. People don’t trust it anymore, and they never should have.
