> You are always one click away from hardcore pro-ukraine propaganda in YouTube and ukrainian channels in Telegram. A lot of prominent media figures - turned State Dept proxies - fled the war and now are outputting constant stream of anti-war, anti-regime, anti-Russia propaganda, to youtube mostly.

The amount of pro-ukranian propaganda, is nowhere near the amount of pro Russian propaganda that has been seeded by the FSB and GRU for years. Their systematic firehose of falsehood has been in full effect for years, ever since the "little green men" in Ukraine and the Russian shooting down of MH17.

You see far more pro Russian propaganda even on places like here then you see pro Ukrainian propaganda, probably by orders of magnitude.




Of course you would see more pro-Russian position in Russia than pro-Ukrainian position. How would you expect to see it otherwise? Simply adding "free speech" will not mute state propaganda, in Russia, China and elsewhere.
