The Cyber Police continues to develop the MRIYA project, created together with volunteers. It started as a chatbot to report hostile bots, then turned into a social project, and is now designed to create a reliable shield against Russian propaganda and disinformation.
It is noted that the war is not only on the battlefield, but also in the information space. The enemy spreads fakes and the narratives he needs. This can affect people’s consciousness and the course of the war as a whole. Therefore, it is important to be able to protect yourself from the spread of fakes.
As part of the project, events aimed at its popularization took place. In particular, meetings were held with students. Concerned students and schoolchildren help the Cyber Police in countering cybercrimes and in the fight against Russian fakes and propaganda in the information space. Given that many interested parties do not have the opportunity to join offline, the Cyber Police Department organizes virtual meetings through the Zoom platform, which allows you to participate in the conference anywhere there is an Internet connection.
The Cyber Police invites you to join the MRIYA project, which has become a kind of information army. It has about 190,000 members and can boast of blocking about 30,000 enemy resources. The goal of the project is to improve the media literacy of Ukrainians and reduce the influence of propaganda on society.
MRIYA project participants will learn about information and cyber hygiene, receive tips that will increase awareness in the media space, and be able to independently identify sources of propaganda and destroy them.
Project goals:
- destruction of Russian cells in the network;
- reducing the level of bullying and harassment on the Internet;
- education and training on cyber hygiene;
- public education on information hygiene;
- involvement and motivation of citizens to an active civic position.
