The government’s opponents pointed to three recent actions by the government that they said were intended to incite the more radical protesters and sow doubt in the minds of the moderates: new laws passed last week circumscribing the right for public assembly; the blocking of a protest march on a side street; and on Tuesday, sending cellphone messages to people standing in the vicinity of the fighting saying, “Dear subscriber, you are registered as a participant in a mass disturbance.”
Russia’s foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov, blamed politicians from the European Union and the United States for encouraging the fighting between the police and protesters that broke out in Kiev, the capital, over the past three days. The situation in the city, he warned, was “getting out of control.”
For anyone who is interested, a live feed of Ukraine, and another story about the clashes.
This is exactly the kind of situation in which there might be an actual reason for people to use tincan. Which is why i think it should include mac spoofing tools: if your opposition can identify and target your phone through cell towers, they can certainly spend $30 on a card that can run in promiscuous mode to identify and target your phone through wlan traffic.
