The growing trend of disabling comments on major news portals stirs strong emotions. Some see it as a reasonable step against the flood of hate, fake news, and online trolls; others – as a cynical attempt to silence the public voice. Once, the comment section was a vibrant forum for debate; today, it’s disappearing in the name of “safety” and “reader comfort.” Is it really about discussion culture – or narrative control? Conspiracy theories speak of censorship driven by advertisers or politicians. The question remains: who decides today what we are allowed to think and say online?

The place of horses in the modern world
Do you think using horses for work, sport, and entertainment is morally justified today?* you can select 2 answers
The use of horses for work, sport, and entertainment has long symbolized cooperation between humans and nature, but today it raises increasing moral concerns. For some, it is a beautiful tradition and part of our culture; for others, an example of the heartless exploitation of animals for human comfort and profit. Critics point to horse racing, tourism, and carriage transport as examples of violence disguised as folklore and tradition. Opponents, however, forget that humans also work hard every day, often in much worse conditions, and no one calls for such work to be banned. So is it really about empathy toward horses, or rather an attempt to silence our own guilty conscience?
