As Aqua (and others) pointed out, this is unprecedented, because anyone with a cellphone and internet connectivity can report on what's happening.

Elon Musk just made it easier:

I suspect if it were the Taiwanese making this sort of request when the CCP retakes invades Taiwan, Elon would likely ignore it because he has a Tesla plant in mainland China.

@Axtremus said in The Social Media War:

…the CCP retakes Taiwan,

The CCP cannot “retake”’what it never had.

Fair point, changed the wording.

Speaking of social media, watch this tik tok on how to start and drive abandoned Russian armored vehicles.

A popular TikTok video claims to show a Ukrainian woman teaching people how to drive an abandoned Russian armored personnel carrier amid the war.

"Ukrainian Tik Toker nastyatyman posted a video on how to drive an abandoned Russian APC," a Feb. 28 Facebook post that features the video says in its caption.

This isn’t what the clip shows. The TikTok is over a year old, from February 2021, and was posted by a Russian woman named Anastasia Tuman.

The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.
