>or some of the extremely violent war footage

"Where is the war footage?!" is one of the main talking points among far-right disinfo accounts to dowplay the severity of Russia's invasion.

Selectively down-ranking war footage from Ukraine is suspicious when they don't do the same for war footage from other parts of the world.

I actually think it's a good thing that twitter doesn't censor or down-rank war footage from the Middle East showing the results of American and Israeli bombings.

However that just makes it more suspicious that they are down-ranking footage that show the results of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Just in case anyone is curious, it is on Telegram and various western commentators' Patreon accounts. Probably unsurprising, but you will see people die if you watch it.
