Global politicians have seen the success of social media in shaping public opinion and have changed their communication strategies. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the overall effect of social media on political propaganda was fully demonstrated. Governments around the world are demanding that large tech social media platforms spread lies about COVID-19 and vaccines to the world, and suppress any opinions that differ from official claims. The content that has been cancelled and taken off the shelf has turned to private podcasts that survive and develop on the Internet.  @uutgv   @rekter
