Tracking the criminals - stupidity trails
Leaving aside his ‘connections’ With the #Kinehan’s, #death and #murder, what I found fascinating was the stupidity of a man to leave a digital footprint across the globe which was ably tracked and reconstructed by #Bellingcat and The #Times.
I hope that Australia has him to quote the oft used phrase ‘bang to rights’ and after that sentence others are lining up to extradite him as well.
If the Russians demanded Stux silence Bellingcat and he told them to go fuck themselves then that also means other Social Media networks admins have been contacted and may have complied (because their billionaire investors told them to)
@stux @Bellingcat Le gouvernement russe a demandé la suppression du compte @Bellingcat sur mstdn.social, ce qui soulève des inquiétudes quant à la censure croissante sur les réseaux sociaux. Ce développement met en lumière les défis auxquels sont confrontées les plateformes indépendantes face à la pression gouvernementale pour censurer le contenu critique.

@Bellingcat latest project showcases the power of crowdsourcing satellite imagery requests!
They tasked satellites based on community input. Here's what they found:
Mauritius: Expanding Indian Air Force base on Agaléga island
Nagorno-Karabakh: Ongoing demolition and construction in contested region
Sudan: Evidence of conflict and flooding in Sennar and Al Fashir
DRC: Growing refugee camps near Goma and expanding coltan mines
North Korea: Updated view of Kwan-li-so 25 political prison camp
Myanmar: Illegal gold mining expansion in Homalin border region
Syria: Changes in Al Hawl refugee/detention camp
This collaboration demonstrates the value of open-source investigations and community engagement in uncovering global developments.
