“Dear subscriber, you are registered as a participant in a mass - TopicsExpress



          

“Dear subscriber, you are registered as a participant in a mass disturbance.” Thats a text message that thousands of Ukrainian protesters spontaneously received on their cell phones today, as a new law prohibiting public demonstrations went into effect. It was the regimes police force, sending protesters the perfectly dystopian text message to accompany the newly minted, perfectly dystopian legislation. In fact, its downright Orwellian (and I hate that adjective, and only use it when absolutely necessary, I swear). The NY Times reports that the Ukrainian government used telephone technology to pinpoint the locations of cell phones in use near clashes between riot police officers and protesters early on Tuesday. Near. Using a cell phone near a clash lands you on the regimes hit list.
