At what point are our politicians going to hold Russia accountable for their interference in social media? So many young people, mentally/physically vulnerable and really old people rely on social media to keep in touch with their friends and loved ones. Their minds have been violated by these Russians, they need to be held accountable for infringing on our most vulnerable citizen's lives. This is online terrorism.

Had to elect some politicians who aren't directly beholden to them here in the US first.

Honestly Russian intelligence seems to control the world, anyone who moved against them would see their country's media overrun with opposition to usher in a fascist regime of people Russia has compromised.

Musk works for them. Zuckerberg works for them. They got Trump re-elected, they got Brexit, they're so close to getting Bolonsarno back in power, and so on.

What actually need to happen is people need to stop using Facebook, Instagram, Meta, and TikTok which are directly owned by known bad actors who manipulate the platform. Everything you read there serves the oligarchy and this world they're actively trying to ruin.

Unfortunately these bots infest everywhere, there's no safe space, but those platforms are actively collaborating.
