This, even in Russia, is illegal as hell. Ana says she approached the officers to ask on what grounds they were doing this. They demanded to see her press credentials and ignored her question after confirming that she is a journalist.

I can tell you that independent Russian newsrooms all instruct their employees in Russia to disable all biometrics on their smart devices, to prevent the cops from smashing your finger on Touch ID or holding your phone in front of you for Face ID.

New from Russian prosecutor’s office: protesters face 8 years in jail. ‘Organisers’ up to 15. But this is chilling:
"If a minor is involved in committing illegal actions using the Internet, the law establishes a penalty of up to 3 years in prison”
They’ll put kids in jail now

Can you download Signal in Russia? If yes, every single person there should. And set messages to auto delete after 1 hour or less. Only use

Telegram also has this and is widely used in Russia. It also helped the Belarusian opposition. And it's much better programmed and up to date, than Signal.

This is crazy. People must be wondering what is going on. Especially with the food rationing on top.

My sources tell me they’re just looking for more funny videos of Ukrainian farmers stealing Russian tractors.
