Seems political an irrelevant to tech. Also it's clickbaity, it's basically saying that Putin will put the guy in solitary confinement or close to... which seems reasonable seeing as he's a dictator that hates the guy and wis

Yeap, this seems like marketing 101. Also, looking at the profile, the author seems to be peddling various cookie-cutter "products" he's trying to sell to "entrepreneurs"... I wonder if he read his first link.
