Rușii pot fi opriți la frontieră, iar polițiștii le citesc conversațiile de pe WhatsApp, inclusiv cele șterse: „De ce ai scris că Putin este Hitler?”/ Unii ajung la închisoare

Russian authorities are increasingly scrutinizing travelers at the border, particularly targeting those with anti-war sentiments. Reports indicate that officials can access deleted messages and personal data from mobile devices. Some individuals have faced severe consequences, including imprisonment, for their online expressions. The checks often involve detailed examinations of phones, including conversations on apps like WhatsApp and Telegram. Activists and journalists are particularly at risk, with many experiencing lengthy interrogations and threats from security personnel. The use of advanced technology to extract data from devices has raised concerns about privacy and civil liberties in Russia.
