Commentators are arguing that digital platforms tied to coverage of the Russia-Ukraine war should no longer be treated as ordinary private companies, saying they now function as essential public infrastructure. The discussion links Vladimir Putin's influence and the conflict in Ukraine to growing worries about how information channels are regulated and who controls them.
Why now: Ongoing concern over Russian influence in the Ukraine war and how platform power shapes public information.
