During apartheid, South African armed forces killed 69 civilians in the Sharpeville Massacre. The world was shocked. This event is still taught in history classes. On average, Israel has massacred more than 70 Palestinian civilians every day for the past 18 months.

I have more than 410k followers on X and fewer than 63k on BlueSky. Yet the same tweet about Russian money supporting the Far Right in Britain has been shared fewer than 100 times on X and more than 1,300 on BlueSky. That's how much of a propaganda tool X has become.
