Russian website, yikes
- Krasnol 2y ago> On 23 July 2021 Russia's Ministry of Justice added The Insider to its list [ru] of "foreign mass media performing the functions of a foreign agent".[66][67] On 14 December 2021 a court in Moscow ordered the outlet to pay 1 million rubles.[68] On 15 July 2022, the publication was banned in Russia alongside Bellingcat. Following this restriction, any Russian citizen who aids Bellingcat or The Insider may face criminal prosecution; they would also be restricted from citing their publications. The office of the Prosecutor-General of Russia said that they were banned due to "posing a threat to the security of the Russian Federation" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Insider_(website) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Insider_(website)
- int_19h 2y agoI do wonder how they managed to retain that domain name. Most news orgs that were banned in Russia moved to other TLDs.
- Krasnol 2y agoYes, I thought that too but since we're on the Cold War level again, it might be a trick and the article a glorification of Russian agents...on the other hand, they work with Bellingcat and if those guys don't think it's fishy...at least I wouldn't dare to question their resources.
