Alexey Polyarinov's first collection of essays that I have only recently read, reminded me of my undying love to Julian Barnes and I thought it might be high time I read another of his novels. It was the epigraph mentioned by Polyarinov that made me get hold of this particular book in the first place, as it said "Lies like an eyewitness" and promised a story with multiple narrators, none of them entirely reliable, and none completely unreliable. Three characters are talking to someone hiding behind the scenes (and their identity is another smart move) about a story of love and betrayal, and, just as the epigraph promises, they don't always see eye to eye, and sometimes seem to be looking in an entirely different direction. Throughout the first half of the book, I entertained myself by spotting slight discrepancies in their accounts of the same events, but as the story goes on, Barnes seems to be losing interest in postmodern quirks and gets carried away with what the characters have to say. Somehow, stripped off its postmodern paraphernalia, the novel boils down to another story of a love triangle, neither the worst I have read, nor the best. There is a sequel, Love, etc, but I'm not sure I want to know what happens to the characters next.

Either way, Durov says that he withdrew his resignation but that he was ousted from his company anyway. Subsequently, control of the company was reportedly handed to oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Igor Sechin, both allegedly close associates of Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Emerson Brooking, a disinformation expert at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, said: "Back in the Wild West period of content moderation, like 2014 or 2015, maybe they could have gotten away with it, but it stands in marked contrast with how other companies run themselves today." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video message on Tuesday that Ukrainian forces "destroy the invaders wherever we can." This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children. As such, the SC would like to remind investors to always exercise caution when evaluating investment opportunities, especially those promising unrealistically high returns with little or no risk. Investors should also never deposit money into someone’s personal bank account if instructed.
