Here's a much more positive take [1]: What's it like to live in a different culture having substantial trust in media, government and institutions? It starts with teaching intellectual self-defence at an early age. In Finland, social resilience is also considered a part of national security (see my paper here [2]), instead of considering national security as only the interests of a few industrial oligarchs.

TIL about finland. I assume this is done largely due to who your neighbour is, st petersburg isnt far eh? I feel like in the USA context however. If they started doing this, it would be immediate civil war. From my point of view the social fabric of the usa requires the government to control what their people see in the news. Including social media. Obviously it's rather opaque and people see it for what it is hence the original poll.
