This snapchat filter has been online for about a year, and but today got removed "due to a technical issue that has resulted in us being unable to review your submission." I find it hard to believe that this happened by chance on the on a same day the Russian military crossed into Ukraine, it is the price of using critique adverse surveillance capitalist platforms such as snap chat and thus it beautiful illustrates the "allergic" reactions that surround the many ways in which putins facical features have become a politicized symbol. An artificial face completely shaped by extensive cosmetic surgery is the and used as an image to promote corse national stereotypes and fear of "the other" both the in freer western media and the domestic Russian propaganda. #snapchatcensorship #putinsnose #accordingtothenose #faceofanation #imagepolitics (at Snapchat) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaYC9RaMUi8/?utm_medium=tumblr
