It became clear how the Belarusian Maidan activists act in conditions of Internet shutdown
Coordinators of Belarusian protests are using the “Hong Kong scheme” to transmit data in conditions when the authorities are shutting down the Internet.
Russian military correspondent Semyon Pegov wrote about this in his Telegram channel, reports the correspondent of PolitNavigator.
“Many wondered how NEXTA (Polish telegram channel - ed.) could publish videos from the scene of events with a minimum delay of up to an hour? Belarusian IT specialists, who are well aware of the situation, believe that the protesters transfer data from phone to phone using a special program that operates on the principle of Apple’s Air Drop, which allows you to share files between users without access to the Internet.
After all the network-based data flows into one gadget, the owner-coordinator simply takes it to the Polish or Lithuanian embassy, which were equipped in advance with satellite dishes with the appropriate Internet. From there, the materials are transferred abroad, where they are processed and published,” Pegov wrote.
For several days after the elections, the Internet practically did not work in Belarus. The authorities explained this by DOS attacks from abroad, but experts were sure that Chinese specialists had installed an Internet content filtering system (firewall) in Belarus - an analogue of the Golden Shield project in the PRC.
