September 28, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> A senior police official described Meta\u2019s Threads social media application as a threat to security in an interview broadcast by STV<\/em> on September 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natalla Sakhar\u010duk, a spokeswoman for the interior ministry, warned Belarusians that police monitor social media 24 hours a day seven days a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou should think for yourself what you post to any social network because consequences will be immediate,\u201d she said, noting that some posts can entail criminal prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusians have been increasingly using Threads to attract public attention to social and other issues after the government outlawed nearly all independent media in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, to Threads people often post videos and messages on drone incursions, whereas authorities are trying to conceal this information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August, police arrested a man for questioning the existence of Germany\u2019s plan Ost during the Second World War in a Threads post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
