Ukraine’s Engineers Battle To Keep The Internet Running While Russian Bombs Fall Around Them In the rubble of bombarded Ukrainian cities, technicians are risking their lives to keep the country online. Their government calls them the ‘hidden heroes’ of the war. www.forbes.com https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2022/03/22/while-russians-bombs-fall-around-them-ukraines-engineers-battle-to-keep-the-internet-running/?sh=4a20aad35a4c
Possible internet wall in Russia
Before a possible internet wall between Russia and the rest of the world is erected, it seems to me a priority to actively invest energy in gather together, receiving (internet) addresses, proxies, VPNs, satellite options, short golf etc. I already saw a group in this box that collects this information. I just can't find it right now. However, it is necessary that that information is quickly decentralized, through various media. Does anyone know which group I'm talking about?

Open internet
For the techies: this "draft" was refused at IETF, but it explains what could be done, if there is political will, regarding the "technical sanctions" & blocking of the aggressive regimes/countries/networks: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/pdf/draft-giuliano-blocking-considerations-00
The open internet in Russia must be protected. Here’s why.
https://tracking.exposed/pdf/tiktok-russia-15march2022.pdf
- On March 7, TikTok made all the content posted by non-Russian channels unavailable to Russian users. This unannounced restriction removes an estimated 95% of the content previously available to Russian TikTok users.
- Content restriction is happening at the application layer rather than the transport layer,which requires the direct involvement of TikTok. It is the first time a global social media platform has restricted access to content at this scale.
- A network of coordinated accounts is using a loophole to post new content promoting Russian pro-war propaganda in Russia, despite the current ban on new content uploads.

Platform Geopolitics in 2022: Russian Invasion of Ukraine – an incomplete overview
With great help of @mdieter created a post on the Internet Society Netherlands site based on his document as posted in the tactical media group: https://isoc.nl/nieuws/platform-geopolitics-in-2022-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-an-incomplete-overview/

The Russian press in Exile petition to the EUropean Parliament
File:Independent Russian Journalists Relief.pdf
Feedback
- In general, this is an initiative formulated too specifically by 4 media and only for Russia. So won't work.
- Additional non-binding comments about the letter:
- I think the letter should be compressed
- The statement 'Its high time' must be removed, it negates the emergency.
- It is important to think carefully about the target group, is
- In my view, this letter should be sent to all individual political parties that are part of the EU.
- I think it's better to do a broad appeal for visas for journalists in need and ask the press freedom community / pers vrijheid community.
Follow up
I have just spoken to the European Parliament representative who is helping with my petition to support independent Russian journalists. He told me there is already a draft ready, still very raw at the moment, about what the EU can do for Russian journalists in terms of visas, financial support, etc. He will share some bullet points from the draft a bit later. **For now it's important we get more people to sign the letter!** We have agreed that I do my best to collect more signatures and he helps me to forward the letter to some key MPs next week. He thinks the people who have written the draft have already read the letter, but it will be even more powerful if more people sign. At the moment, I have managed to collect only 12 signatures. I believe only two people on this server have signed. Please send me your full names and professional occupations (website or media you work for) and I will add you to the list of signatures! 🚨

News on the war
From a Ukrainian colleague, a recommendation: "Some twitter accounts to follow: @DmytroKuleba (Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, I saw this account being prised for efficient communication, could be interesting from professional point of view as well), @Kyivindependent, @ukraine_world (news in English), @andersostlund (a Swedish journalist reporting from Kyiv), @nolanwpeterson (war reporter based in Ukraine since 2014).
A Wikipedia author has been arrested in Belarus. Wikipedia advises all editors in Belarus and Russia to hide their personal data, and to write/complete articles about war only from secret accounts.
Question: If they write under a pseudonym, is their IP address untraceable, or are they masked by Wikipedia?
