The original title is "Russia may deem civil servants’ use of Gmail, Facebook ‘high treason’", the edited one is a tad more sensationalist.

- alan_cx 13y agoI wonder why it was changed, that one is bad enough. I have to say, if I were asked by a business which valued privacy, I'd tell then to contractually and physically block all US services. I mean, if I were working one some product I wanted to keep secret for reasonable market reasons, like hell would I want my employees using gmail and the like to discuss it. I would also be nervous about employees leaving them selves open to blackmail because of facebook posts. Look at Alan Turing's experience of being gay. Say my lead developer was a member of a "secret" gay group on FB and became compromised? Now imagine I was not a business, but a government.
- pekk 13y agoOK, I understand why you don't want people you work with to use Gmail. But treason for using Gmail? And what is the penalty? And we think this is a fair idea, to completely ruin people's lives because they use the 'wrong' internet service that we don't like?
