I guess @AJEnglish would have reported on so called elections in the Soviet Union in the same way. Not a word to indicate that no opposition is allowed and anyone tending in that direction risking lengthy jail time. Shame to @AJEnglish!

People in Russia and the territories it has annexed in Ukraine are voting in a three-day election that could make President Vladimir Putin the country’s longest-serving leader.
Al Jazeera’s @DorsaJabbari has been at a polling station in Moscow ⤵️
Community note
The election is a foregone conclusion in favor of President Putin due to the fact there is no legitimate opposition choice, and routine evidence from previous elections of rigging and voter intimidation.

Only 7% of parents believe books should be removed based on the objection of a single parent.
Yet an organized assault on the freedom to read by vocal activists & pro-censorship politicians led to 3,362 books bans in the last school year—diminishing the education of millions. 🧵

If you need to be proven right, learning is a challenge. If you’re eager to be proven wrong, learning is delightful.

Puzzling...
1. everyone will hit the age gate not just kids
2. how does the operator know the adult is the parent?
3. why find a way to target ads at kids anyhow?
4. if it doesn't work, no access? #ChildRights
