    “…tech giant Yandex has a handshake deal with government authorities to limit what news outlets the site will pull onto its homepage” wow that sounds so incredibly different from the alternatives

      Makes one wonder, however, what other 'handshake deals' with autocratic government there are.

          The difference is that I have no control what Russia does with my information but I have some control over what my country is doing with it.

      All kinds of info/website are also censored in Russia. They censor anything that could be taken as against the Duma-Putin.
