Moscow police officers stop people, request their phones to read their messages
Seems like a really slow, cumbersome technique to monitor people. The one officer was rapidly scrolling looking for who knows what. No one can read or even scan text that fast, so I guess looking for photos?<p>At the human level there are probably plenty of low-tech techniques to keep yourself safe like deleting messages or using coded language.<p>It’s sad to watch Russia descend into totalitarianism.
