Ukraine has been invaded by Russian forces under Putin’s command. Even now Ukrainian cities are under bombardment and military units are pouring into the country. Yet this war takes place as much is our minds as it does on the ground. The truth is being withheld from Russian public by state-controlled media and censorship of internet and social media.

With this petition we call upon Apple and Google – producers of the two leading mobile operating systems – to use their capabilities to start providing our fellow brothers and sisters in Russia with reliable information. Nearly everyone has a smartphone with an OS made be either of these companies and it is within their capabilities to push notifications / updates to these devices, avoiding state censorship.

Even when the Russian nation is being lied to, protests are sprouting throughout the country to oppose an ambition of one small man that is costing thousands of lives. Let the truth be heard and the Russians wake up – they have the right to know. The world is coming together against Putin so let us push the leaders in tech industry to stand on the right side of history. If the Anonymous can do it so can you.
