Russia launches the Zosima messenger: how it collects data from millions.
Launch of a new messenger in Russia
According to inkorr.com: A new 'Orthodox messenger' called 'Zosima' has started operating in Russia. Experts note that this messenger collects a large amount of personal information from users, including passport details, addresses, income information, and workplaces. User registration is carried out through 'Gosuslugi', which provides access to government databases.
In particular, the messenger collects data from Russians, including passport details, addresses, income information, workplaces, and even information about military duty. Registration takes place via 'Gosuslugi', which automatically opens access to government databases.
Goals and consequences of using 'Zosima'
It is claimed that this messenger aims to make the Russian Orthodox Church 'more modern' and 'closer to the youth'. However, experts' observations indicate that this may just be a tool for state digital control. This suggests cooperation between the church and the state and attempts to control citizens.
'Zosima' has become another example of how the authorities use religion to strengthen control over the population.
Experts' outrage
The launch of 'Zosima' has caused outrage among experts, who believe this is another step towards creating a total control system over citizens and limiting their freedom.
Today, the issue of personal data protection in the digital age remains extremely relevant. The use of such messengers may encourage discussions about human rights, privacy, and control, which are becoming increasingly important as technology rapidly develops and interacts with state structures.
