Thread: Pavel Durov, Founder of VK sells and moves to US "VK in the hands of Putin"?

I thought a bit more about this:

If FSB had to actually ASK Vkontakte about the details for the Euromaidan people, then that is actually GOOD from the perspective that they don't automatically have the information.

The CIA wouldn't have to ask anyone. The information already sits on a server with the NSA.

So Russia is nowhere near where the USA is. I still think it's wrong though - these people were not even in Russia. They were Ukrainians in Ukraine, so it was not Russia's business.

The question of interest is - is Russia going to try to emulate what the USA has done, or settle for something more manual, less obtrusive, and hopefully regulated by strict laws.

Juridically, that's wrong. If a person acts on a server which is located in Russia, de jure this person falls under the Russian laws. There is the same practice all over the world.
