> In the West, you have a range of views and there is no deliberate censorship of views by the State. In Russia, you get and only get what the State produces

I would argue that big tech is making an effort to sway public opinion in certain favorable directions, if not outright censor them under the guise of safety or whatever generic excuse we've heard over the past decade. The information we've been digesting is essentially only what big tech allows to be heard.

Yes, there are several ways to access information from alternative methods but from what it seems like, only a fraction of both the West and Russia do that.

By censoring an opposing agenda, albeit anti-west propaganda, you will create exactly the same vacuum as you accuse the Russian government of.

> It is sometimes better to act than not to act, even if what you do is not perfect; it all adds pressure and expresses that you are serious about what you're doing.

Strong disagree. We should do the right thing rather than just anything that could put pressure on them.
