Video link:(2) Uncovering the Colossal Censorship Hack from Russia - #RussianCensorFiles Part 1 - YouTube
Episode one of three. This episode will introduce audiences to both the Belarusian Cyber Partisans and Distributed Denial of Secrets Collective. These groups participated in and store one of the largest hacks/leaks of Russian government data regarding censorship. These groups have been called the successor to Wikileaks yet very little has been reported on them in the West. This is especially true for anti-imperialist, anti-censorship and "anti-war" groups on the internet. This episode also covers reporting that has occurred mostly from eastern European outlets. Topics in the leak to be censored range from anti-war protests to the use of artificial intelligence and ocular technology for automating censorship.
