I looked into the Arizona case, the statement was written by his sister, AI was only used for the rendering and vocalisation. So it's more like a sophisticated sockpuppet. A previous publicity stunt involving AI-generated Parkland victims also used pre-written statements, presumably written by their parents.
It has been in flux for many years and then a lot after the full-scale war began in 2022.
Before:
A survey by the Democratic Initiative Foundation in April 2021 found that one out of three Ukrainians, 32%, considered Bandera's acts as positive, and just as many took the opposite view.
After:
In April [2022], researchers from the Rating group, a Ukrainian research organization, found that 74% of Ukrainians now view [Stepan Bandera] favorably.
“Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, western countries — under the threat of withholding loans — have imposed unacceptable control over Ukraine’s state institutions, state-owned banks, and monopolies, undermining the country’s sovereignty. This is cruel and unjust toward a nation at war,” she said during an interview at the offices of her party, Batkivshchyna, or Fatherland.

The westerners, who include a senior official at the UK’s National Audit Office, are able to vote together to veto potential appointees [advisory groups that select candidates for appointment to Ukraine’s Constitutional Court, High Council of Justice, State Customs Service, State Bureau of Investigation and its Accounting Chamber, as well as anti-corruption agencies] and their votes carry more weight than the Ukrainian experts in the event of a tie. As a rule, there are six members in the commissions — three foreigners and three Ukrainians. Such international oversight, Tymoshenko said, may have been appropriate in countries such as Afghanistan, Liberia and Sierra Leone, but not in Ukraine.
You are right, but indigenous Australians are completely unrelated to Austronesian people (the descendants of indigenous Taiwanese who cover an area from Madagascar to Rapa Nui). Papua New Guinea is a mosaic of Papuans who arrived tens of thousands of years ago and Austronesian "Melanesians" that arrived much later and usually live along the coast.
Saying that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say. It’s a deeply anti social principle because rights are not just individual, they’re collective, and what may not have value to you today may have value to an entire population, an entire people, an entire way of life tomorrow. And if you don’t stand up for it, then who will?

I call upon China’s leadership—and the conscience of every Chinese citizen—to recognize our shared past trauma, born of two of history’s most harrowing chapters: the [Nanjing Massacre] and the October 7 massacre in Israel.
Relative to the size of each nation’s population, the massacres in Nanking and southern Israel are chillingly comparable.
To paraphrase, China know from experience about a country denying war crimes, so it should sympathise with Israel over the debunked lies the author regurgitates about Oct7 and abandon Iran because they EEEEVIL.
Also, articles about this neighbourhood often say that it's a "traffic nightmare" because it was designed for a car ownership rate one-fifth of what it is now. Okay...
The "Orange Revolution" was to keep the corrupt Yanukovich from power who supposedly stole the election, only for their guy Yushchenko to be so corrupt and backstabbing his allies that Yanukovich became president after him anyway.
In his final days in office he then pulled this banger.
This notorious fact of Ukrainian politics was instated by a president whose approval was in the single digits.
While the (re-)ban probably happened this article doesn't link to any sources for its claims, which makes me suspicious about the claimed quotes by government officials about "Western moral decay" and whatnot.
"With all the failures of the present, with all the social and economic dissatisfaction of a part of the population that amplifies regret for communism (cope), the catastrophic percentages of the population that mythologize life under communism (seethe) are not just the result of a natural phenomenon," Remus Ștefureac wrote on Facebook.
Liberal anti-communism is "natural" and people never change opinions. He's gonna blame the Russians, isn't he?
He says that this percentage is a "direct consequence of the information war we are in, of at least 10 years of serious active measures directly coordinated by a hostile power, waves of disinformation, lies and grotesque manipulations propagated on all channels of information multiplication, but especially on social networks."
"A campaign of destabilization and social vulnerability that was not fought by the state or society, neither by the public nor by the non-public sphere. A campaign against which we have neither built capabilities nor allocated resources to build the right antibodies that we can only find in the attachment to freedom, in good governance, in sincere patriotism, brother with integrity, with honesty and common sense, not with imported aggression and violence," claims Ștefureac.
Only NED liberals are homegrown, all the fascist and communist sympathisers is Russia's doing. Liberals only care about 'the people' when things go their way.
