Occupiers on TOT force locals to install the Max messenger

The Center for National Resistance writes about this.

In the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, starting September 1, the Russian messenger Max from VK, under the control of the Kremlin and the FSB, will become mandatory.

It is noted that Mach stores the owners' data and transfers it to Russian special services without a court order. Correspondence is stored there for over a year, and identification is mandatory.

At the same time, the application accesses the microphone, camera, contacts, and location.

The code is closed, hidden backdoors are possible; integration with "Gosuslugami" and other government systems.
