It's awesome, but it isn't internationalised and does not mention not being. üõöä letters ended up as weird strokes.

So, every country that did not do better did worse? Sounds about right.

Russification does not give _any_ right over land. Russification was a crime of the Soviet Union and should be treated as such.

Too many people think of Europe in terms of Germany, France, Italy, UK and Spain. There are _many_ countries in Europe who know exactly what it feels like when Russia comes to "liberate" and what it means for the future of these territories.

Justification for what? If Russia wanted to support russian ethnic people in Ukraine it would not invade Ukraine, but offer non-destructive help to those people.

The reason these sanctions are harming normal people is that Europe is driving for a change in Russia that will never happen unless the people blame its own government for the situation.

A response late is better than no response. I believe what you are saying is that if some countries were destroyed, others should be as well? Europe protects itself as it considers Ukraine a part of Europe, that's not racist, that's pragmatist.

So, by this logic Facebook is the good guy, because it is receiving less money by helping 3rd parties without its capabilities also invade users privacy, while taking a cut of the profits?

It doesn't really help to know that it's dangerous. I might be overly pessimistic, but from my anecdotal evidence, it is very difficult to get users to move from one messaging platform to another. And once you have gotten all of your close people moved from say Facebook Messenger to Whatsapp (In my example) as it's more recognized than, say, Signal - it would be close to impossible to get everyone to move yet _again_ in the near future in the fear of some security flaws.

Other people just don't care as much...

No, absolutely not the case. In Estonia for example, you are extremely lucky if you are able to actually consume services or any meaningful amount of content in services by registering your account to be in this country. Basically, it's not worth the effort of entry even to the country for large companies, so they don't.

Also, there is a smaller alternative called Adcash that won many business awards in Estonia last year.

The page allows to register with www.someone.io Of course, that will not redirect properly to the board afterwards, but I was able to register a board with that address.
