Russia fines Google more money than there is in entire world
A Russian court has fined Google two decillion dollars a two followed by 36 zeroes - for restricting Russian state media channels on YouTube. In dollar terms that means the tech giant has been told to pay $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
Google is a 2 trillion dollar company, one of the wealthiest in the world. But this fine is far greater than the World's economy which is estimated to be $110 trillion.
What are your thoughts on this?
What do you think will happen to Google?
The world basically depends on Google for day to day activities. 🤔
Will this affect Phaver? I really doubt it.

So last week I was thinking of possible ways to boost Phaver's users and noticed one thing that we all do/use and sometimes get lost in it.
That is "Watching Videos" or rather in this case "Reels". Let's call it "Phaver Reels".
From Facebook, Instagram, X, Snapchat and TikTok, reels have played a fundamental role in keeping and engaging users of these platforms.
Introducing the "Reel" system would be an incredible development that would foster engagement and increase users on this platform.
Frens could upload videos that align with their interests. I for one spend hours watching videos on TikTok, how cool would it be to do that on Phaver?
I also noticed we can't upload more than one picture or video at a time. This is also something that should be implemented on the app seeing as people who have content that thrives on this kind of stuff wouldn't be able to be active in the communities.
I love Phaver and want to grow in this community.
Think about it....Phaver Reel and multi-picture/video posting.
What do you think Frens?

Not done yet....here's my second entry. 😏
Nigeria's journey to Freedom and @phaver mission statement
In a land rich with history and vibrant cultures, Nigeria’s journey to freedom mirrors the story of a people determined to reclaim their identity, dignity, and voice. For centuries, Nigeria was a complex mosaic of kingdoms, tribes, and empires, from the powerful Benin Empire to the industrious Hausa city-states. However, the arrival of colonial powers sought to impose a foreign rule, subjugating its people and resources under British control.
The path to Nigeria’s independence was long and arduous, filled with moments of great struggle and inspiration. Visionary leaders like Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, and Ahmadu Bello stood as beacons of hope, rallying the nation toward self-determination. Through powerful speeches, peaceful protests, and a drive for unity, the Nigerian people took control of their destiny, breaking free from colonial rule in 1960. This hard-fought freedom symbolized not only political liberation but also the reclamation of their cultural and social identity—a freedom to define their future on their terms.
Hello Phaverians
This is Nigeria's journey to freedom and Phaver's mission to $Social freedom.
Nigeria's journey to freedom is a story of resilience, unity, and an unwavering desire for self-determination. Once a land colonized by the British, Nigeria's independence struggle began with a series of organized movements in the early 20th century. From the formation of political groups like the Nigerian National Democratic Party (NNDP) in 1923 to the rise of figures like Nnamdi Azikiwe and Obafemi Awolowo, the path to self-governance was paved by Nigerians' demand for representation, fairness, and the right to control their own destiny.
Today is October 1st and it marks Nigeria's Independence Day, celebrating the nation's freedom from British colonial rule in 1960. This day is commemorated with parades, cultural displays, and government speeches, reflecting Nigeria's diverse heritage. It also serves as a moment for reflection on the country's progress and ongoing challenges in unity, democracy, and development. Independence Day is a public holiday, allowing citizens to celebrate and engage in community events across the country.
Happy Independence Day to the Nigerian Community here on Phaver.
Happy New Month to all Phaverians.

The Frozen Continent
Antarctica is the southernmost continent on Earth, known for its extreme cold, vast ice sheets, and remote location. It is the fifth-largest continent, covering about 14 million square kilometers, with roughly 98% of its surface covered by ice. Antarctica is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent, with temperatures that can drop below -80°C in winter.
Unlike other continents, Antarctica has no permanent human population and no countries. Instead, it is governed by the Antarctic Treaty, an international agreement that designates the continent as a scientific preserve and bans military activity. The continent is home to research stations operated by various countries, where scientists study topics like climate change, glaciology, and biology. Despite its harsh environment, Antarctica supports unique wildlife, including penguins, seals, and whales, primarily in the surrounding Southern Ocean. The continent plays a critical role in global climate regulation and is crucial for scientific research.
Would you visit Antarctica?
Lock in!!!! 🥶
