In the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, schoolchildren face problems accessing free information due to new restrictions. Russian occupiers check children's phones for YouTube, Spotify, and VPN services to control their actions. This was reported by 'Glavkom' referring to the National Resistance Center.
The occupying authorities invade the personal space of schoolchildren, forcing them to display the content of their gadgets under the pretext of ensuring safety. This is aimed at creating a closed information space filled with Kremlin propaganda to limit access to the outside world.
The Russians are trying to control education and influence future generations to deprive them of the ability to independently choose their sources of knowledge and think critically.
Excessive control over access to information for schoolchildren in occupied territories reveals the Russian occupiers' attempt to form a closed information space and influence the worldview of the younger generation.
