    Edited. Thanks. Wasn’t whitewashing Russia at all. I used Qwant, DDG, Google, and even asked a couple of AI bots, but couldn’t find anything about Russia using it. But I never said that they didn’t, because I am well aware that they commit war crimes too.

      Huh. Thats concerning if those kind of general searches about russian warcrimes are being suppressed. For reference, I remembered the bakhmut thing offhand so my search query for the article I linked was something super specific like “2023 bakhmut phosphorous”

        Yeah, I’ll have a look through my history and see how I phrased it, but it was something like “accusations of Russia using white phospherous or illegal weapons and war crimes” in a few different ways.

        ai was useless (no surprises) but thought I would see if it spat out anything different anyway. They just asked me for reference links to feed them with. Which I obviously didn’t have.
