These are all public news reports which I'm sure Reuters' Russian desk is aware of. And it's all just entertainment to me, so I have no interest in verifying.

These are all public news reports which I'm sure Reuters' Russian desk is aware of. And it's all just entertainment to me, so I have no interest in verifying. But I don't see how it qualifies as big. The NSA was tapping calls from the personal cellphone of the Chancellor of Germany. The CIA created a Twitter clone that Congress funded just so they could destabilize the Cuban government. There's many more examples of our infiltrating foreign entities with men in sunglasses who all claim to work for the state department. Asking a non-US company to spy for the US government, and then retaliating against them when they balk, seems minor on the average scale of geopolitical intrigue.
