Very unlikely outcome, and hopefully not a goal for Ukraine.

I used YouTube tutorial to learn a few basic openings. GothamChess has a bunch of videos on different openings, where he goes through the main moves as well as a few variations. He’s definitely not for everyone though - he’s very much primarily a YouTuber/streamer and a chess teacher secondarily.

How is an article labeled “Opinion” ever a thing you learned? This is not fact. Post this literally anywhere else instead of trying to disguise your opinion as fact.

I used to work at an accounting/consulting firm who were dead set on writing business applications in VBA within Excel. The code was embedded in the notebook, and to distribute the software was sending the latest version of the Excel file. This made version control virtually impossible, and we would instead combine our work manually.

I cannot recommend having tech-illiterate people lead software projects.

Won’t one party always have restricted freedom of expression in this situation? The private company wants to express themselves freely by curating the content on their social media platform. The individuals wants to express themselves by posting material of themselves with less clothes than the company wants. These both seem to me as entities wanting to express themselves freely. Which freedom are you most willing to limit?

And if you argue that the freedom of an individual should be valued more than the freedom of a private company, should individual people owning websites have their freedom of curation/expression limited?

IIRC he took a second mortgage on his house to fund it. He also has a cameo in the movie.

Harrison and Eric Idle were good friends, and Harrison even appeared in Eric Idles Beatles parody movie.
