Time to wake up, Europe.
I don't know how else to reach you, so I'm asking you - maybe they'll hear us this way.
Please share these photos. Show them to your politicians. This is the Kyiv metro.
Every night, Ukrainians hide here from Russian missiles. Families sleep on the cold floor with their children.

Should add disinformation to misinformation here. Otherwise accurate. The fifth rider is creating a slipstream for the rest.

How fundamentally have social media changed society & human history? Just think about it. Before, what would you have to do to reach 100 people at once? Get up on a rooftop & shout? Most passers-by would just walk on. With some luck, a few would listen long enough for you to get your message across.

Encountering trolls and/or bots on social media?

BLOCK, BLOCK, BLOCK (and report if warrented).

Do NOT engage.

Engagement merely stimulates algorithms to increase troll/bot visibility and reach.
