Yes, I've seen it few times, when they didn't ask for additional data just to wait for approvement. And blocked a new account in a few hours. @lispi314
Meanwhile the most popular cellular network provider in Ukraine was shot down after a (assumably Russian) hacker attack.
It means random problems in random places. My work phone has no network nor internet, I can't use it for calls, nor anybody can call or message me if I'm not on wifi. Roaming doesn't work too.
Also POS terminals using SIM cards of that operator may not be able to process card payments. They have no internet. Same goes with lots of other services dependant on mobile cellular network.
In at least one of Ukrainian towns civil defense systems are paralyzed because they were dependent on mobile network of that provider. No air alerts until everything gets fixed.
Some people can't call their parents or kids. Especially elder ones not familiar with the internet. At least emergency numbers seem to be working.
Why am I writing this? It's an interesting case I never thought about. At war it may be possible for hackers to shoot down so many things by attacking only one or a few companies.
Fortunately my personal SIM card is from working cellular network provider. But now I'm pretty sure I should get a second personal SIM card from another provider just in case.
It's the most popular cellular network provider that was attacked. 25 million users, more than half of pre-war Ukraine.
Hacker attack was successful. After a day of outage still no information about when they'll start working again.
As far as I see in news, they're inspecting their hardware without turning it online to see the scale of problem. And officially say "it infrastructure is partially destroyed".
People can't login into telegram accounts with SMS code or call verification, people can't prove their indentity to google or another service that wants you to receive an SMS code.
They can't receive SMS code to restore acces to their lost or stolen accounts. They can even get an SMS message that somebody is trying to steal their account.
Even if they "have nothing to hide". Even if they aren't wanted by three-letter-agencies.
They just relied to an external factor that was shot down by hackers. Now they lost access to it for an unknown time.
Друг живущий в Швеции и в настоящее время удаленно учащийся в Москве на клинического психолога скидывает сообщения из профессиональных групп, где активно обсуждается тема приравнивания ЛГБТ к экстремизму.
Вот небольшой отрывок: "Признание ЛГБТ-движения экстремистским означает, что за выражение ему поддержки в какой-либо форме могут привлечь к административной ответственности по статье 20.3 КоАП РФ "Пропаганда либо публичное демонстрирование атрибутики или символики экстремистских организаций."
Статья предусматривает штрафы либо арест на срок до 15 суток".
Говорит, что у многих психологов в профайлах и резюме указано, что они, в том числе, работают и с ЛГБТ людьми. Сейчас же, после очередного пробитого дна, никто не знает как это даже называть, так, как любое упоминание ЛГБТ может расцениваться как поддержка экстремизма. И дело даже не в том, что прибежит дядя майор, а в том, что эта вероятность есть. И как все здравомыслящие люди, психологи сделают все возможное, чтобы снизить риске подобных столкновений, а это значит, что в добавок ко всему, ЛГБТ люди останутся и без психологической поддержки.
