How do you propose western countries and social media companies fight disinformation?
The solution to bad speech is more speech. Not less.

I agree with funding cuts to the CCP, but there's an argument to be made that de-globalisation is a sure fire way to global conflict.. Mutual interests tend to keep things civilised
Russia has already demonstrated that McDonald's theory doesn't work.

This is one of many, many reasons why western countries and social media companies should not normalise censorship re-branded like "fighting disinformation".

And there is what, precisely, to prevent Erdogan and his cronies from just seizing the funds and arresting the principals? These bank accounts are in Turkey. I would honestly be more comfortable using the likes of PayPal, as it’s less likely to be stolen by the government.
Well, if we go by the logic you stated, a meteorite may fall down to my head now while I am exiting my work place. Anyway, I think there are enough alternatives to donate. Where I live, a local relief organization is collecting donations for Turkey and Syria. Then there are UN agencies who do that etc.
Just like in China with the anti-lockdown protests. The people who are recognisable on social media posts from the protests have all been arrested by now. They waited just long enough to make people forget about it before they picked them up one by one.

They waited just long enough to make people forget about it before they picked them up one by one. Same deal as with that Bundy/Overpass standoff between militia types and the Feds a few years ago. The Feds showed up, saw the number of men with rifles, turned around and went home. Mission accomplished right? The m…

I hope you actually went and asked everybody.
Starting with you, do you support social media censorship in the United States? And do you support social media censorship by turkey? Those are yes or no questions.

Many newly created bot accounts are pushing lies about Ukrainian refugees in Turkey, that they were hoarding aid intended for earthquake victims and stealing from the bodies of the dead. Twitter seems to be the only major social media platfo…

It will become a non-issue once all keyboards have a "ü" button. :) Which might not actually be that long.
Why is everyone focused on the umlaut? If you don’t have the button, use a “u” and move on.
As minor as it might sound, if 199/200 countries work in your system, capitalism dictates that below a certain business size, the logical thing is often to just ignore the one country and move on.
These things have odd cascading effects.

For instance i still use 10y old Dell 14r laptop. When it became slow to run windows i switched to u Ubuntu and added SSD (not china made). I might have purchased less than 10 made in china products in the past 3 years Something is better than nothing
That Dell was still certainly made in China. And the SSD, while not manufactured in China, likely had components which were. It's practically impossible to avoid it.
Agree we can't avoid completely but still doing something is better than nothing.

In some years, this will become a non-issue

So this is not a keyboard (hardware) problem, just a keyboard layout (software) problem.
