On the weekend, Ukraine struck Russian data centres and, as a result, brought down some (measurable!) 50% of far-right / hate message activity on social media, coming from bot farms. My favourite comment by an actual human being:

Applause to Zelensky who just found the cheat code to un-brainwashing the west.

I’ve been monitoring 20+ bots on the White House Facebook page for months. Reported all to Meta and they did nothing. I haven’t seen one of them in the past 24 hours.

Zelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations. Because there were fewer bots. It’s pretty clear where those bots were."

A protester at the Trump rally gets physically assaulted by a man who punches her in the face. Trump smears the protester as a "fat guy". Who did it better? The Deform UK Ltd salesfoce meeting last month in Bimingham, or yesterday's delusionalist rally for King Donald the Mad?

Brexit has weakened Britain economically and politically. Businesses are drowning in red tape, and young people are being denied opportunities across Europe. The Liberal Democrats have a clear roadmap to rebuild our ties with the EU. It is time to repair the damage Brexit has done.

Liberal England: Roz Savage and her Liberal vision for a flourishing Britain It was published last month by Compass and touches upon questions that Liberal Democrats are currently wrestling with, such as leadership and defining what we stand for.

Ed is a good man and his objective of stopping Farage is noble. But he lacks vital communication skills, he doesn’t have the gravitas of a Carney or the easy style of Burnham. He also finds it hard to define liberalism. We need to find out if one of his MPs can.

let’s just carry on reporting their vile propaganda via our national broadcaster, shall we?

Why don't the BBC report like this on other party's policy? Barely nothing ever on Lib Dems...just constant feeding of the Reform narrative

The difference between the Paxton scandals vs. the Talarico scandals is that the Paxton scandals are a) demonstrably worse, and b) demonstrably real.

Following the Yandex strikes, "engagement" on Xitter has crashed by half. You don't think their user base was automated bots all along? Surely not.
