Should we also start spamming US phones about Yemeni kids? Perhaps send a picture titled: &quot;Here&#x27;s the kid we killed today&quot;?<p>Snark aside, I don&#x27;t understand what purpose this kind of spamming serves. From reports, most Russians seem to be against this war already. What are you trying to achieve then?

I think it is a great idea, but maybe we could all host independent proxies on out own dime and add the details to the text to let them bypass censorship, then they can select their news source as they see fit?<p>Just the translation of the text seems like a 3 year prison sentence for anyone that would act on it...<p>I would try : here is the &quot;citizen of the world uncensored internet initiative&quot;... then there is the risk the russian send similar messages and jail the people that act on it. anyone with an idea to overcome this is welcome.<p>EDIT : just read in another comment that links will trigger filtering. extra challenge :|

Gotta say any kind of spamming sounds like a dumb idea.

I think that&#x27;s a great idea, I&#x27;ll send some. Apparently the message invites to find information on telegram channels, so should it contain a link to a channel?

The text on the website:<p>&quot;Уважаемые россияне, ваши СМИ подвергаются цензуре. Кремль лжет. Тысячи ваших солдат и украинских братьев гибнут на Украине. Узнайте правду в свободном Интернете и в приложении Telegram. Время свергнуть диктатора Путина!&quot;<p>&quot;Dear Russians, your media is being censored. The Kremlin is lying. Thousands of your soldiers and Ukrainian brothers are dying in Ukraine. Find out the truth on the free web and on the Telegram app. Time to overthrow dictator Putin!&quot;<p>According to Google Translate anyways...

If the authors are reading, I recommend to randomize the message a little bit to avoid getting flagged by ISPs.<p>You can use “spintax” for this.

I would suggest you don&#x27;t, here is why.<p>Many Russians, especially younger generation are against this, but 2 days ago a new law was passed that first time you get arrested and second time you go to jail.<p>Still even after this law there are protests. Those who protest are brave people, they risk to end up 15 years in jail.<p>You will likely get people who have no say in this in trouble or in jail.<p>&quot;To hide the truth from its own citizens, Russia’s censorship agency has shuttered independent Russian media outlets, blocked social media, and restricted access in Russia to international news outlets. We condemn the move by the Russian Federation Council to approve a law threatening prison sentences of up to 15 years for journalists and ordinary citizens that would spread so-called “false” information about Putin’s unconscionable war in Ukraine.&quot;<p>Source: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.whitehouse.gov&#x2F;briefing-room&#x2F;statements-releases&#x2F;2022&#x2F;03&#x2F;05&#x2F;statement-by-nsc-spokesperson-emily-horne-on-russian-disinformation-and-efforts-to-undermine-free-press&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.whitehouse.gov&#x2F;briefing-room&#x2F;statements-releases...</a>

Abusing tightly regulated communications infrastructure to incite foreigners to overthrow their heads of state sounds like a quick way to get in a lot of trouble. I would not recommend it.

There are spammers weaponizing SMS again, doing EXACTLY THIS and asking to donate money to refugees, etc (fake, of course). And not only in Russian Fed.

It may be true that you are not bad. But your leader is bad. Very bad. Putin made a grave error attacking Ukraine. The world is united in condemning his actions. You need to remove him.

This conflict is incredibly complex, check alternative sources such as Ray McGovern, John Mearsheimer: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ppD_bhWODDc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ppD_bhWODDc</a>, Col. Douglas Macgregor says its over: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;xsh9V8UxenI" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;xsh9V8UxenI</a><p>We should all perform deep analysis of the conflict and behave rationally - the people of Ukraine suffer immensely now.<p>How can this conflict be brought to a halt ASAP so no more ordinary people suffer.
