Is Bellingcat an independent investigation organization? Why would this one be any different?
Ah, Ok. Another country to bring democracy and freedom to. I really thought that by this time we have learned our lesson - but I guess not - God help us.
Given examples of such "disinformation" in my opinion are valid concerns:
"Covid-19 vaccines have already killed over 4,000 adults who’ve received the vaccine" - there is a strong signal that it might be true.
"Articles about vaccines or masks have hundreds of comments, many that are factually inaccurate and often based on conspiracy theories" - lab leak conspiracy has been considered a conspiracy theory for a year or more so I am not sure what they call conspiracy theory now.
So instead of talking about risk analysis, mainstream media just proclaims all negative vaccine comments to be "disinformation".
This is another illustration of loss of trust to important institutions in our society - I hope we are hitting the bottom and will rebound, but not so sure.
How do you think they would be protecting the symbols?
I think this is a very naive assumption
A lot of people were on the streets protesting election results on January 6th. Was it OK then?
Bad

I am not sure where you are getting this, but I might have missed it.
> - Had a conservative senior employee go off about politics on the call discussing the new no politics policy.
Yes, on 90th minute - we are not sure what was said before that.
> - refused to reprimand said employee on the call
For what? I don't understand.
> - had one founder take this extremely sensitive call from his bed with his camera off and on mute.
We all can be sick sometimes, certainly would be better to it in some other way, but maybe he was just that sick?
- After the employees resigned, did not send any sort of public message thanking them for their time at the company.
Pretty bad, especially considering comments from Highrise employee in this thread.

And I think that Far Manager is the best 2 panel file manager ever.
I agree though that corruption on all levels is a systematic problem in Russia that is not getting better.

Omitting usual suspects - Jordan is a monarchy.
> These people spent 70 years practicing and exporting communism. They suffered heavy military losses in Afghanistan. They have lost the cold war, and lost many dependent territories.
And adding "democratic" institutions like independent large businesses controlled by oligarchs, "free" press also controlled by oligarchs and "free" elections manipulated by oligarchs and external forces, "free" market economy w/o protectionism, was making the country into what Ukraine is today - just country divided into feudal domains controlled oligarchs in turn controlled by western elites.
> Democratic freedoms and human rights did good for people.
Look at the current state of Ukraine.
I also wonder what the cost of this study was.
