Communists Jump On SMS Text Messaging
Apparently, the Communist Party in Russia has realized that the only people showing up for their meetings are quite old. In an effort to attract young blood, they've looked around and realized that the kids these days are all into this text messaging stuff. So new Communist Party propaganda will now be sent via text messaging, because, no matter how backwards the philosophy may be, they seem to think if you can shrink it to 160 characters and put it on a handset screen, kids will somehow think it's cool. Or, at least that's what the Communist Party appears to be thinking.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
