Yeah there was this post on here yesterday "Here comes the tiktok war" presuming there was going to be all this media spraying out on socials but then there was just nothing. All the gawkers are asking "huh? Is this war even real?" then I see apparently Russia blocked twitter (and presumably other sites) on all the ISPs around there -
That's an efficient short term solution to their war on information control, but it's really just a delay. The problem for them is the sheer ubiquity of devices which can still record without access to the internet, and then be taken to regions where they can reconnect to the world and spill their secrets. People have come to expect the basic ability to communicate on a level that our forbears scarcely dreamed of.
"A well connected Community, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Phones, shall not be infringed."
I would hope that if any constitution of any country gets a right to bear phones baked into it, they won't take the incredibly confusing wording of the second amendment of the US constitution as their role model.
Agreed, or else you'll get people clamoring for the government to control the phone industry because they misinterpreted the period meaning of "regulated" (that is, definition 2 here[1] not definition 1)
I believe a lot of the media is getting taken down - the bot/partisan armies are reporting it as offensive, and a large enough volume of reports inevitably gets things removed. There was an article on here yesterday about "banned from youtube for watching a livestream of the conflict".
There is a ton of media/livestreams/etc if you're in the right places. r/combatfootage, twitter, various livestreams on youtube/twitch/etc, telegram, etc.
