Yesterday, I have read in russian independent newspaper in a live feed that woman was arrested and charged with organizing a protest, after posting on Twitter "Let's go and take a walk on the main square". This can of course be fake, but if true, then having SMS like that could lead to being questioned in the very least. If you want to encourage the protesters and give them words of support then text of the message is wrong, those people already know that press is twisting the facts. They do read foreign media, while they still can, but Russia has been conducting exercises on cutting their internet segment from the rest of the internet since 2018, so at any moment they can just flip the switch. You are correct the broadcasts were not wrong, people were eager for that information, but it was discussed mostly in private and with close friends only. Other issue is that SMS spam is really bad in Russia so likelihood of that message being taken seriously is quite small, especially with official media saying that West is waging information war. So message with content about mainstream media lying received by a supporter would probably not have the impact you would imagine. Bringing some facts that would cause people to investigate further would go a lot better in my opinion. |
