     As mass riots continued on the streets of Kiev, protesters, as well 
as other people in the area, received a mysterious text message on 
Monday evening.

     “Dear subscriber, you are registered as a participant in a mass 
disturbance,” the message read, as first reported by The New York Times.

The text came from a number only identified as 111, but the Times 
suggests Ukrainian authorities were behind it. The country’s Interior 
Ministry, however, denied sending the messages, as later reported by The 
Guardian. But regardless of who was responsible for the SMS messages, 
how did they do it? How did they pinpoint only certain cellphones in a 
specific area?

================

I think we as pirates, should help to various social movements get 
access to a bit more free technologies ...
Any suggestion?

El Sur También Existe y cada vez más será un lugar de confrontación con 
el gran capital....

Eduardo.
