@randahl in Russia that is 7 % from 14000 USD GDP per capita. Eu has 44000 per capita and us has 80000 per capita. So the difference is even bigger.

@mmasnick @erosalie @c_9 yeah, that’s the problem- I’m not good enough to do it. I’m not strong enough to fight FB, IG, Snap, influencers, celebrities, corrupt politicians. God knows I try and fail each and every day.
There are very liberal democratic countries that have very clear limits on freedom of speech (Germany, Scandinavia...). Regulation is not perfect but is necessary. Because you can do as much harm with words as with guns.

@mmasnick @erosalie @c_9 this argument reminds me of smokers- every one had one grandfather who smoked a pack a day and lived to be 90. Social media has profit as a no. 1 priority. While there is nothing wrong with that, if there isn’t strong regulation in play users get the short end of the stick. I’m a high school teacher - kids low self confidence is a huge problem, becaused they are surrounded by filtered images.
