The title of the submission seems very much like a clickbait: the context makes it sound like it refers to government surveillance, not sending data to private American companies to serve ads.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted: just because ProtonMail allegedly refused to cooperate with Russia, it doesn't mean they must act similarly when the request comes from a nation that can leverege more diplomatic pressure.

Yes, these are the two strains I was referring to in my original post. They share the same sequence of 75 aminoacids for their envelope proteins despite differing slightly in the nucleotide sequences.
