In accordance with the Order No.1 of 22.10.2021 of the Commission for Exceptional Situations of the Republic of Moldova, the Service identified the website censor.net, which on 22.10.2021 published a news item with false content.
Excerpt from the content of the article: "the provision of gas to Moldova is part of the deal, in the results of which the Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Moldova must close the case on the kidnapping of the former judge Ceaus".
It should be noted that an analysis of the Moldovan media landscape shows that the impact of this information has been amplified by the fact that the article was distributed by the Komsomolskaya Pravda news agency.
As a result, the Service formally requests that the online resources that distributed/broadcasted the concerned information remove it.
At the same time, in order to reduce the impact of fake news, we urge, in the case of their identification as well as fake accounts used on social networks used in the intensive distribution of disinformation, to forward the information to the Information and Security Service at the e-mail address press@sis.md, as well as reporting the publications and accounts to the administrators of the social network used.
