Like heck it was. Twitter put the "government sponsored media" tag on Russian and Chinese services. But try seeing if Voice of America or Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty or Radio Free Asia are tagged as "government sponsored media". Or the BBC or CBC. And they persistently black hole these "government sponsored media" when you search for anything. The censoring was already there but I think the banning hit the peak when Twitter banned Trump. Only been downhill since.

Case in point, just a few posts above, Andy Boreham, a New Zealand citizen living in China, is labeled as China state-affiliated media and black-holed by Twitter simply because he points out the hypocrisy of Western MSM's coverages of China.

All of that is true. Now do google or youtube, where any time you search for anything China or Russia military related you either get tank tank results or western propaganda.

You can't even say the US election was rigged without getting your account deleted on youtube.

Europe’s $1 Trillion Energy Bill Only Marks Start of the Crisis​

Europe got hit by roughly $1 trillion from surging energy costs in the fallout of Russia’s war in Ukraine, and the deepest crisis in decades is only getting started.

After this winter, the region will have to refill gas reserves with little to no deliveries from Russia, intensifying competition for tankers of the fuel. Even with more facilities to import liquefied natural gas coming online, the market is expected to remain tight until 2026, when additional production capacity from the US to Qatar becomes available. That means no respite from high prices.

While governments were able to help companies and consumers absorb much of the blow with more than $700 billion in aid, according to the Brussels-based think tank Bruegel, a state of emergency could last for years. With interest rates rising and economies likely already in recession, the support that cushioned the blow for millions of households and businesses is looking increasingly unaffordable.

“Once you add everything up — bailouts, subsidies — it is a ridiculously large amount of money,” said Martin Devenish, a director at consultancy S-RM. “It’s going to be a lot harder for governments to manage this crisis next year.”

Lmao. The Europeans has already pissed away $1 trillion bandaid over surging energy prices before the year is over. It’s probably closer to $1.5 - $2.5 trillion with all the money and weapons they are giving to Ukraine. The EU about a couple weeks ago had to take a loan for money which they will loan out to Ukraine.

EU Projected 2022 GDP = $16.5 Trillion or ~6% of their GDP worth.
