BBC article 4/3
This article is about hoe Russia's lead search engin Yandex (not Google!) passed information on people who donated money to something to Russia's state security service FSB. To many people this is a troublesome issue because it hits a painful spot: transparency and state intervention.
I think that it is bad that the FSB got the information from Yandex because it shows what an iron grip the govrnment has over there. (Says the American who knows that the phone lines are tapped.) It does seem like the Russian government gets called out a lot though. Maby the cival unrest in the Middle East will influence a change. Most likely not, but maby.
