Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

The revelations (that we all basically knew) that some of the largest MAGA influencers on social media are paid trolls from other parts of the world is exactly why I don't debate these Internet bros online.

This pledge could be a good thing, but we will need to keep pressure on to ensure it actually benefits people, and doesn't put them in further debt.
