Ukraine. Fear or war. Please help

[phil06]

Well FYI, Phil, my dad happened to be watching Sky News this evening whilst waiting for the snooker final to start, and despite covering the Ukraine conflict (obviously), I DIDN'T see (in the on-screen text) nor hear any mention of the words 'World War Three', neither did my dad.

Ditto for the BBC News.

See this popped up on Apple news without me even looking for it on news today

I haven't seen nor heard any such thing either.

Perhaps it was dodgy sites falsely 'masquerading' as the proper news outlets that Phil might have come across whilst compulsively doomscrolling on the Ukraine conflict.

Some conniving unscrupulous barstewards have been known to create such sites online that to all intents and purposes resemble the 'real' sites, give or take a few variables, and promote them via social media.

Freedom of expression? Over my dead body!

Was Apple news comes through automatically with IPhone so I can 100% verify they are peddling this stuff

That article has no security experts mentioned at all, it’s pure click bait speculation.

Yes that’s true but these headlines trigger anxiety I think it’s irresponsible of Sky

Sky aren't bothered about triggering anxiety. It's your choice whether you read this or not.

Phil, Are automatic news flashes on our phones really compulsory?

Is there any way they could be disabled?

After all, no one is holding guns to our heads and ordering us to read, listen to or watch the news.

Yes, without wanting to sound harsh everyone in this thread have proven they know how to Google, so they know how to look up how to switch off iPhone notifications if they really wanted to.

Also irresponsible to post screenshots of it in a thread of people trying not to view it.

Exactly! I never click on any of Phil’s links. I think he posts them to get reassurance about the content. However it’s really quite uncalled for on a thread like this. There must be plenty of people who can’t help themselves and can’t resist the temptation to click on his links. Thus worrying themselves more and more.

Maybe think of others Phil and stop posting inflammatory links. I’m strong enough to ignore them along with all the media shite but I am very aware of others who are not.
