Pretty sure the biggest propaganda channel is social media and it's wide open.

I would be in favor of limiting these channels, because I agree with you it seems necessary. But it’s also something to be quite careful with, I feel.

I think the current shift in acceptance of blocking social media for children is a start and allows us to consider it’s positive and negative effects.

You see, he isn't against propaganda, he is against propaganda he doesn't agree with.

I’m against propaganda that seeks to actively undermine freedom and democracy in my country and the rest of the EU. Is that so strange?

There is abundant factual evidence that the US worked to undermine democracy in Ukraine in 2014 when Ukraine elected a candidate favourable to Moscow. It's not propaganda to draw attention to that.

There's no factual evidence of that, but there is a lot of RT screeching about it, which some individuals believe is the same thing as factual evidence. Thanks for providing evidence, to the other users in this thread, that RT has real effects, so there are real concrete reasons to block it.

As a Ukrainian, this statement of yours is complete and utter bullshit.

Where did you heard it?

It is not only factually incorrect, every point is just completely wrong: no favorable candidate to Moscow was elected in 2014, US did not worked to undermine democracy and there is absolutely zero evidence of both of these things happened.

This is what RT and other propaganda networks is dangerous, it creates a fake reality which people believe in. Then you act on this knowledge as if it is real.

No, it's not. Social media is massively censored in many EU countries (and UK).
