It's not a revenge of the the regime. A decade ago it was a different company, now they all are completely under the cap of FSB, it's basically a Lubyanka filial. It's serfdom all over again, not that strange it got leaked by some unhappy employee.
- tpmx 4y agoReading up on the current situation with the company - yeah, I think you're right. :/
- mahoro 4y agoWhen you're judging them, think about the space of possibilities as well. Is any example of a Russian business of such volume not tied to the government?
- gyudin 4y agoI mean they were pretty much forced to sell business to the government recently. Coincidence? Maybe…
- eshch 4y agowhat business and to what government? are you in your dreams?
- andystep 4y agoi guess it's about recent exchange of their news service to vk. not literaly sold to the government https://techcrunch.com/2022/09/12/yandex-news-zen-vk-sale-completes https://techcrunch.com/2022/09/12/yandex-news-zen-vk-sale-co...
- altmind 4y agoIts not only news service. Few services are left under the Yandex INTL. What are the services - ... you gotta know... they haven't published a proper disclosure, only couple of press-releases, which is alarming for a still part-public traded co. I remember some sources that they've sold ALL their media services, and the INTL is only left with services like taxi and delivery.
- ergonaught 4y agoA lot of really great technology and a lot of really great people. There are shitheads everywhere.
- throwaway290 4y agoIs this well known? Seems likely the leak was done by an anti-Putin employee or ex employee in revenge/protest against the war if yes.
- actualwitch 4y agoI saw the forum post in this thread claiming leak happened back in 2022. This aligns well with the massive PII leak they had before so I would say there is a chance.
