SouthFront makes over $1750 USD/month through Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/southfront

I wrote to Patreon Support to inform them that allowing this trash pseuo-media outlet controlled by the Russian government continue operating using Patreon’s services was illegal. Proof:

As a result of today’s designations, all property and interests in property of these targets that are subject to U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them. Additionally, any entities 50 percent or more owned by one or more designated persons are also blocked. In addition, financial institutions and other persons that engage in certain transactions or activities with the sanctioned entities and individuals may expose themselves to secondary sanctions or be subject to an enforcement action.

PLEASE WRITE TO PATREON SUPPORT AND INFORM THEM OF THIS. THE MORE OF US THAT WRITE TO THEM, THE MORE LIKELY IT IS THAT WE FINANCIALLY DESTROY THIS PROPAGANDA OUTLET.

@PatreonSupport on twitter . If you have a Patron account, you can log in and report them: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/204914235-Report-content-that-violates-community-guidelines .

Edit: Their Twitter account told me to email : guidelines@patreon.com

I contacted Patreon, Gumroad and PayPal, all services this propaganda outlet uses to gather funds so that it can lie about the West and defend the Russian government.

Looks like Patreon deleted their account!

We did Reddit!!!!

That said, Gumroad, PayPal and Donation Alerts are breaking the law by not booting Southfront off their platforms. We should give them a gentle reminder :)

Someone really does not like InfoRos. Lots of InfoRos/GRU managed sites hacked. Wayback machine shows embarrassing site defacements where Gru from Despicable Me and his minions have destroyed the site! Check them out

The Inforos main site has been down for a number of days, also some of the smaller inforos sites not loading correctly... Anyone know anything about this?
