spacecadet Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) The invasion was over a week ago. Sanctions or no, this is money going into Putin's pocket. These have got to come down. Edited March 4, 2022 by spacecadet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 "Russia has delivered more than 110 tonnes of humanitarian aid for the local population. The aid includes food supplies: cereals, salt, sugar, dairy products, tinned meat and fish. The security of the humanitarian aid convoy is provided by Russian military. Credit: Russian Defence Ministry/TASS" Now distributing propaganda direct from the Russian Defence Ministry. This has to stop. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 May I suggest we decline to upload, with the exception of news images, or post on the forum until TASS is banned from the feed and images removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond hosting Russian Defence Ministry Propaganda, these are Video Screen grabs. odd that Alamy would allow distribution and promote these on their special Live News Feed.

I actually think we need to continue posting so that others are aware. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nacke Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 As someone who has lived and worked in the Ukraine, lived in Kyiv (Kiev) for three years and lived and worked in the Soviet Union (Russia and most of the former Soviet Republics) for ten. I Support the Ukraine and Zelensky in their fight against the invasion of the Russian army, BUT I do not think that cutting off TASS is in anyone's best interests. I do think that all material (images and captions) uploaded from Russia and the Ukraine should be reviewed by an experienced Photo Editor and journalist before being posted.

geogphotos Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 My point was against TASS or any Russian agency hosting my images. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TASS being government owned is a priority to me. Alamy is hosting Russian Government Propaganda, with no validation nor disclaimers.

I wonder if that aid convoy happened to be 40 miles long with tanks for an escort? Pushing Russian state propaganda can’t continue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alamy Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 We continue to monitor the fluid situation regarding submissions to our news feed from Russian contributors. Having PA media as our parent company means we are in continual dialogue with the other leading news agencies in the industy on our approach to this issue, to ensure we are aligned. Without going into too much of the detail here (as it wouldn't be appropriate) we are taking a number of actions regarding payments to certain contributors and ensuring accuracy of captions and keywords on our news feed. On this latter point, we work through them as quickly as possible and make sure nothing is sent out to news desks which is not factual. The examples cited in this thread have already been amended as part of this process and access to upload will be further limited during times where we cannot actively monitor as quickly as we would like.
