War with Russia

[Bazzer]

In Russia, purchasing a blue check on Instagram, Facebook and the like is going to be an offence as it's deemed to be financing extremism with penalties up to 8 years in prison.

I understand access to Telegram and Whatsapp is being restricted, or where possible blocked by Russia, with it being replaced by a home grown app, that records everything you do with your phone.
Aside from the apps displaying video of Ukrainian attacks on Russian men and material, there is a specific "I want to surrender" hotline, which Russian commanders are not too keen on. I have also seen reports of Russian soldiers using the apps to disclose to Ukraine the locations of material and commanders.
