Ya. Using American software, you might be getting NSA's eyes on you. Using Russian software, you'll probably have FSB's eyes on you. So take your pick :)

  Even in that sense, choosing is quite simple, since for all kinds of gov't usage (e.g. in military as a NATO country) NSA is an ally of Germany but FSB is actively hostile to it.

Germany shares closer and deeper ties with both countries than most would imagine in modern days. Propaganda aside and looking at facts, one company is providing access to review their source code and the other one is not. Which one of them is a terrible idea to purchase?
