Crazy how a huge Russian data centre going offline coincides with fewer concerned moms from Arkansas questioning the safety of electric cars.

@BobLefridge @KiwiEV do you have a source on the AfD interaction decrease?
It was from a Mastodon thread. Also mentioned on Reddit.
Yandex has nine data centres in Russia. Ukraine has taken out three of them in just the past four days. And they could be doing the world a favour.
Because it's not just angry mums from Arkansas who have fallen silent. In Germany, views of the main AfD account have dropped 90% and engagement's down 60%. The party's apparent popularity is heavily boosted by smoke, mirrors and bots.
As a bonus, this could cripple Russian efforts to interfere in the US mid-term elections.
Three down... six to go.
