My guess is you sign a waiver of some kind in the station, I know for twitch streamers when you move its a good idea to inform them that you're live on the Internet and that there will be prank calls to get you swatted, because unfortunately people find streamer's addresses and then call up saying they're going to murder hostages or some shit.

They'd probably just put a note on your file.

Seems like a ploy by Russia to secure another human pawn that they can use in negotiations with the United States.

We should expect more of this…
