Original Note:
For context, Russia scores 0.1 on the 2023 Freedom of Expression and Alternative Sources of Information Index, while the US scores 0.93 (on a scale of 0 to 1). Holding a blank (or even invisible) sign in Russia is a valid cause for arrest. https://prosperitydata360.worldbank.org/en/indicator/VDEM+CORE+v2x_freexp_altinf https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-war-invasion-protests-police-arrest-activists-holding-blank-signs-paper-1687603 https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-protest-arrests/25324619.html
