Euronews took a closer look at these viral images and who is behind this anti-Ukraine campaign

Don’t always believe what you see, Fact-check it?
Propaganda is so rife these days so you need to know what to believe.

Increasing pressure to look good has led to more 18 to 34-year-olds getting plastic surgery than their elders, a new book claims
============================================
We are all born and, in that, we are who we are, but many of today’s youth and some others are so obsessed with social media, on which you can’t or shouldn’t believe all you see, but many do.
Cosmetic surgery is invasive surgery and as such there could always be instances where what is being requested may not be what results, as in any surgeries problems can and do arise. While our bodies do allow, at times, for some alterations to be performed there will always become a limit to what our bodies will allow. Now, initially the cosmetic surgery being done might be minimal, but trends in social media change and very frequently at times, so will the body always allow for the surgery to be done as wished, well until it is done it will be hard to say and then it will be too late.
I do see, to some extent, the will to achieve perfection, but what is perfection for surely this is a feeling at a moment in time, but time advances and what was believed to be perfection may not always be so.
It is easy for me to say, but ignore social media and live life as you are and not as you wish or hope to be.

This just goes to show that abuse of power is still extremely strong and needs to be countered at all times, if necessary, by legislation, but then that too could be open to abuse.
While I wish for ‘Freedom of Speech’ this freedom can be used to restrict the freedoms of others causing much harm and distress, so at times some forms of restriction are necessary to safeguard the Human Rights of those who could be harmed and distressed. This is why the views and opinions of Musk and others like him need to be tempered to safeguard those more vulnerable than others.
Musk uses his power of wealth to control others not as wealthy just to extend his own views and opinions when he should be respecting that there are many views and opinions, but, it appears he feels the views and opinions of persons wishing to hurt, bully, be disrespectful are more important than any others and in that he is championing the abuse of the vulnerable.

Racism, yet again, Racism should have no platform in the UK, but it does and here the blame is not only on the racists, but the Platform providers Facebook, Twitter, etc, who by their apparent refusal to take these abusive down as soon as they appear, are, effectively as guilty as the racists who post these comments.
Not only should the racists be prosecuted, but also the platform providers, for only then will this racism end.
There has to be ‘ZERO tolerism‘ with regards to racism.
No form of abuse is acceptable no matter what circumstances are involved.
With Social Media they do have the resources to eliminate the abuse though their platforms, but they appear unwilling to do so.
The legislation promised in the Queen’s Speech could well alleviate that to some or all extent. However, these platforms are owned my multi-billionaires and so their resources to fight or reduce the effects of any such legislation are enormous, but that should not stop the legislation coming into force and if it needs to be amended to make it more enforceable then so be it.
Black footballers could come off Social Media but why should they, why is it the innocent who have to act, rather than the perpetrators being punished, it is because it is easier for this to occur, but it is a major limitation of freedoms. Just because something is difficult should not be an excuse to not proceed, as by not proceeding this is as bad as the initial racial abuse and is in effect condoning but inaction or insufficient action. If the was put into every legislation, that inaction or insufficient action was illegal then more would be done by all concerned.
There are many reasons why Black Americans are unjustly treated in America and health is just one of many areas, another major area being Law and Order.
Nobody should be abused in any way, especially due to racial origins, but especially in America there is a long history of racial abuse and in many instances the historical instances are still occurring. In fact, many white Americans, would if they could turn back the clocks and this has only been made worse from 4 years of the Trump administration.
Even under the Biden administration changes, if any will be hard to achieve and then there is 2024, the very real possibility that Trump could return.
But it is not just in America that there is mistrust and racism, for this can and does occur in many countries, the UK being one, but, I hope, to not the extent of it is in America. But what do I know, for I am not of Black origin and may not even notice what is occurring in front of me, left alone behind me.
Nobody should have to contend with racist abuse, in fact, any form of abuse, for it is abhorrent and we should all be doing what we can to ensure abuse is not abound.
I do hope, that the mistrust can be minimised and eventually even, not occur, but this will require all of us to be vigilant.
COVID-19 is not concerned who it affects and my real wish is that the vaccine mistrust is overcome, but all the misinformation on Social Media will need to be countered, for if it is not, then there will be no chance that the COVID mutations will ever be reduced. COVID-19 will be with us for the long-term. The only effective counter is the vaccines, for the various restrictions can only go so far and that is assuming that we are all abiding by the restrictions, which we are not, but hopefully only a minority.
Colour is only skin-deep for underneath we are no different, so colour should be no reason to discriminate for we all have an equal right to life.
The social media giant said it “violated their policy against organised hate”.
