Without any additional information, the story, as presented, is fishy. 1. The “counter-terrorism” package to which they seem to point has only been enacted last month. The details and dates for its impossible requirements for ISPs, hosting

A little remark: Raspberry Pi is a nice market for Broadcom, Premier Farnell and other big players involved in making it. It also has proprietary chip that needs closed source software to work (while Intel provides a lot of open source code

Last year, Yandex had to fight against government attention to its news aggregating service (that has a significant share of user traffic and ranges sources automatically by quality instead of closeness to official propaganda). Rumor has i
