BBC Instructions for getting past Russian censors


Recommended Posts

Quote

The Russian authorities have restricted access to BBC websites in Russian and English, as well as other international and independent media, accusing them of circulating "false information" about what is happening in Ukraine.

In response, the BBC said "access to accurate, independent information is a fundamental human right which should not be denied to the people of Russia, millions of whom rely on BBC News every week".

Record numbers of people have read the BBC's Russian language news website since the invasion.

To get around the BBC ban in Russia:

Download the Psiphon app from the AppStore or Google Play Store
Look for the dedicated BBC site on the Tor Browser which can be found using this URL. Note that this URL only works using the Tor Browser or the Onion Browser (on iPhones)
If access to the apps is restricted then send a blank email to [email protected] or [email protected]. An email will be sent in response with a direct and safe download link
The BBC has also launched two new shortwave frequencies broadcasting World Service English news for four hours a day to Ukraine and parts of Russia:

15735 kHz from 14:00 GMT to 16:00 GMT
5875 kHz from 20:00 GMT to 22:00 GMT

Hopefully I’m helping any Russian boarders get past Russian censors to get real news about what Russia is doing in Ukraine.

Yeah I agree with the sentiment, I hate censorship of any kind, but I was wondering why it was specifically here as well. But Ran seems to be ok with it, so whatever.
