Call Out Bigotry in Reporting on the Ukraine Invasion

在報導烏克蘭戰事新聞應打破偏執

And while we are quick to proclaim that we are just objective observers, the truth is that the words we use to describe various types of refugees influence public perceptions and thus public support for immigration policies for those fleeing conflict. As we’ve already seen, that has made it easier for journalists to empathize with Ukrainians, easier for journalists to tell those stories in ways more likely to open hearts rather than close minds. Suffering Ukrainians should be empathized with, and Putin should be called exactly what he is: a thug who has committed an evil against a neighboring country.

俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭期間，科技平台、出版商對俄制裁的時間表

It’s been just over two weeks since Russia invaded Ukraine, which has led to Russia being the most sanctioned country in the world. Companies are pulling their products and services from Russia, platforms are restricting access to Russian state-controlled media (partly driven by EU sanctions) and demonetising those accounts, and governments are requesting platforms to implement changes to their products to minimize security risks.
