Speaking of social media usefulness, but unrelated, but I found it strange/funny/sad/depressing, I signed up last night on Twitter and one of the posts about Ukraine at the top was like

"Like for Zelensky, RT for Putin, who do you prefer" With some thousands interactions

Does humanity really need social media? Why politicians keep posting their communications there, why they feel they need to expose citizens to such brain damaging content just to be able to see what they say

Twitter is also a source of claims that civilian objects are out of bounds for the conflict. Well it proved to be an evidence of not being the case.

RT / Like is a blatant manipulation and Twitter should ban it.

This claim could be true, but outdated.
