Explanation of the Structural and Functional Characteristics of Geographical Buffer Spaces
Mohammad Reza Hafeznia
“A buffer state is a weak power between two or more stronger ones, maintained or even created with the purpose of reducing conflict between them” (Wight,1995:160).

The dismemberment of Yugoslavia and the European Union (2001)
Erik Faucompret
"Yugoslavia was such an artificial state created by the superpowers after World War ΙΙ, to keep the peace in Central-Europe. It is [possible] for a government to succeed in keeping alive artificial states. Belgium is a case in point. Nations require from their governments three objectives to be achieved: domestic and international security, material welfare and cultural commitment."
"...alliances with buffer states carry a very real risk of dragging its members into a conflict at an inopportune time."
"In today’s world there are two conflicting tendencies. On the one hand there is the so-called globalisation process, ensuing from international trade, international migration, international capital movements, internet, international news media and international transport. The world becomes one village. On the other hand there is the rise in ethnic nationalism. Ethnic minorities rejecting the multicultural societal model..."

"(San Francisco) Project Veritas has received and published documents from an insider at Pinterest. The documents, which include product code, Slack messages, and internal policies, reveal terms and websites that Pinterest apparently censors."
In an interview, the Pinterest insider who leaked the documents explains how the company censors pro-life and Christian content on the website. (June 11, 2019)
Lila Rose, the founder and president of LiveAction claims that her organization has been censored in the past, and believes that pro-life organizations are unfairly targeted by social media companies:
“Pinterest says that their mission is to ‘help empower people to discover things that they love,’ but despite the fact that millions of people love babies and the pro-life cause, they are secretly censoring our life-affirming messages. Pinterest users deserve to know the truth and our messages deserve to be treated fairly.”
