Report or comment?

I wanted to ask whether this text is a report or a comment?
Thanks in advance

An event is reported in a report. In contrast to a dry report, a situation is introduced, people are presented in a context of action.

An opinion is justified in the comment.

What of that happens in this text?

Help:

"The idea of socialism died in the real existing socialism. The same now seems to happen to the promise of freedom of digital technology, in a year in which a pandemic has forcibly digitized public life."

"In the pandemic, online game worlds take over functions that cafés, bars, public spaces or climbing gyms would otherwise have. The fact that the friend you can't meet stands in front of you as a cartoon astronaut and may already be sharpening the virtual knife is true a bit strange at first, but still better than letting the friendship fall asleep. After all, with the best will in the world, there's nothing more to talk about through this invisible partition. At least virtually you are finally in the same room. "

Something is reported over and over again. Does it create an atmosphere or is it the basis for an argument?
