This is news from Occupy Democrats. There is a disclaimer from the person who shared it about the accuracy of Occupy Democrats, but the story appears to be largely true, and good news. It's about Ukraine bombing Russia's data centers and the bulk of negative hateful divisive comments suddenly disappearing from the Internet.

My caveat: Occupy Democrats, in my experience is more or less accurate in its reporting, but biased toward the left. It tends to exaggerate good news favorable to progressives, and downplay bad news not favorable to progressives. I still read their stuff, but with that reservation in mind. I usually don't share them, because I can find something better balanced.
Having said that, though, the reason I'm sharing this is because this is the first estimate I've read about what will be required to FIX the data centers that were damaged or destroyed: "The best part? Yandex has announced they won’t be able to repair the centers until 2028 due to chip shortages."
BREAKING: TAKE THAT! Zelenskyy publicly taunts Trump and Republicans after blowing up the Russian data centers that powers MAGA’s online hate machine!
It REALLY had to be done…
All of a sudden, social media got a LOT more friendly and traffic to right-wing sites dropped DRAMATICALLY after Ukraine blew up the Yandex data centers that powers Russia’s internet.
It turns out all of the bots that push disinformation and hate on social media depend on Russian internet to function – and they’re all silent now.
Speaking at the Warsaw Security Forum, the President of Ukraine took a victory lap and a shot across the bow at Trump and Elon Musk, who suddenly have found their social media posts are MUCH less popular than they were before.
“When we started responding to Russia’s operation against our data centers, and 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. And it’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from – if they disappeared when Yandex went offline. This proves, again and again, that Europe is not the source of the problems. Europe is not the one making everything more difficult.”
“Most importantly, we need people in America, every morning, when the day in Europe is already moving toward evening, to really see what is happening. To see the truth.”
The best part? Yandex has announced they won’t be able to repair the centers until 2028 due to chip shortages.
Ukraine has done a massive favor to the entire world by blowing up those data centers. Without the millions of bots pushing right-wing propaganda and hate speech left and right, maybe some kind of decency can be restored to our social media sites – and the flow of MAGA lies will come to a halt.
Thank you, President Zelensky! Slava Ukraini!
