September 17, 2024

The newly-established Crimean Federal University created a new programme that detects ‘illegal symbols’ on the pages of students and teachers in social networks.

This was reported by activists of the movement ‘Yellow Ribbon’ in their telegram channel.

It is also noted that this new AI-tool recognises including Ukrainian flags.

‘An assignment was given at our university  to seek students and teachers with the help of AI that haveany  sorts of violations in social networks. I know one guy who was expelled for being pro-Ukrainian,’ -the Yellow Ribbon activist said.
