a Slovak launches the “special love operation” project to counter Russian censorship
For many weeks, Ukraine has been the victim of the Russian invasion. Whereas Facebook, Tik Tok and Instagram have been banned in the countrydaring Internet users have hijacked the Tinder dating application to communicate with Russian civilians who are victims of censorship. A group of Slovak creatives has just launched the “Special Love Operation” and has been working for several weeks. Their objective ? Disseminate real information to the Russian people in order to inform them of what really happens outside their borders. “Dear Russians, the West does not hate you. We hate war. We hate the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. The Russian army kills innocent people while Putin lies and hides the truth from you. Your brothers and sisters are dying because of the madness and delusion of a dictator. Spread the truth, make love, not war”, says Alex Strimbeanu, director of the Jandl agency behind the project.
a project that comes to life thanks to the tinder plus feature
This operation is possible thanks to the Tinder Plus subscription available on the dating application. This functionality notably allows its holders to change their location. Thus, participants can geolocate themselves in several Russian cities and integrate explicit profile photos but also information in the biography part of their accounts. Be careful though, the Kremlin is trying to strengthen its control over what information Russians can access online. It is therefore possible that your Tinder Plus profile will be banned, which is why it is advisable to create an account with an email address that is little or not used. The head of operations has seen several of his profiles disappear. He is trying today to get support from Tinder. In addition to allowing you to find love, the app finally has other features that we would not have considered!
